Subject: first worldwide direct democracy meeting????
To: Bruce Eggum
Dear Bruce,
I send this below email to the
that says they made the FIRST worldwide meeting on direct democracy.
Indeed that meeting seems a very mixed initiative of various governmental institutions.
They try to sell like direct democracy a ghost of direct democracy...
a joke if not a sad thing like the mexican
I send you this my email if you think to notice the wddm about this phantom of "first worldwide meeting on dd"
I hope you are well
and have all my best
ciao

Dear fellows,
how many "first meetings" can be realized?
As far I can see "The First International Congress on Direct Democracy was convened in Pribram (a suburb of Prague), in the Czech Republic, on August 25-27, 1998. Its participants came from 14 nations around the world. Many participated as individual citizens of their countries while others represented a variety of universities or institutions devoted to improving democracy in their lands or across national boundaries."
Look at:
Respectfully,
