The Election is over and although none of us were elected we did get to talk to many people about this new and exciting idea of Direct Democracy. It is worth remembering that the Magna Carta was signed in the year 1215. This established Rights for Kings and Noblemen. It took over 500 years for that to trickle down into the notion of individual Rights for the Citizen. Not until the Declaration of Independence did we see any acceptance of that... even then we had to watch the horrors of Slavery (in all it`s forms) and Women's Rights inch forward until  now, when we have deeper understanding of what that really means and it`s implications. Direct Democracy and Proportional Representation are those next steps! Please Join Us!
At the moment the Citizens for Direct Democracy is funded by incredible People like You who see that this is a fundamental  step towards Real Democracy, who see that this is important work that cannot be achieved without all of us chipping in. A $5 donation will go a long way towards, Business cards, Website, Media Awareness and equipment. Thank you so much for helping out!
Citizens for Direct democracy are a group of active and engaged Citizens who believe that it is time for our Municipalities to start using Direct Democracy as a method of interacting with the Public on a multitude of issues that directly affect all of us. We elected Council Members to be Caretakers of the Municipality and our Best interests, this can now be done directly through Social media, Web Sites, Mobile Phones, Apps etc. There is no longer any need for Councillors to "Mind Read" what it is the Public wants to do about any given issue. Many Countries around the World have Direct Democracy Party`s, the only Country to date that uses a fully integrated Direct Democracy is Switzerland ( A Country that has World Wide respect) so we have a working model, Social Media is incorporated into the Swiss system, including the fact that 100,000 signatures from the entire Country is enough to trigger a Direct Democracy Referendum. All important matters concerning strategic planning for the future , all matters that are of Public concern are held up for Public Opinion and Scrutiny via Social Media. We can do this, Victor Hugo said "No Power on Earth Can Stop an Idea Whose Time Has Come" the Technology is here to enable that. We encourage you to join us as we re-form the way we make decisions into the way that is guaranteed by our Charter of Rights by our elected Caretakers of this Municipality!
