Dear DD colleagues,
I am proud to inform you that on July 14th, 2006, day of French Revolution for Democracy, we succeeded to make DD happen!!
I coordinated the most serious event ever happened about Direct Democracy in contemporary Greece. It was a gathering of the people (Demos) of the island of Rhodes, as it happened in ancient times in the Ancient amphitheater of the old town , who voted before their local elections not for representatives, but on the major problems of the island in eight different entities(environment, traffic problems etc.) giving an order to all candidates to face their view, when they will be elected. Our NGO (Forum for Citizens' Democracy) organized the whole event with a big success, under the auspices of local Authorities and NGOs.
Please give publicity to this important event, as it inspires us for authentic Democracy!
George L. Kokkas
