Surely you jest.
Whatever happened in NYC, you are getting off the topic of directdemocracy. One idea we are working on is selling DD as something you lack rather than as something extra that you need. The right to vote, suffrage, is something that most people understand that they want. The struggle for women's suffrage is still fresh in many people's minds. Then: What is the use of the right to vote if you can't vote on substantiative issues? This argument is effective especially in USA because we have uneven availability of ballot initiatives. This is like women having the right to vote in some states but not others. Is that fair? -- American? Vote on the National Initiative for Democracy, http://votep2.us |
