we need a national council for community democracy
Mar 30 2007, 8:27 AM EDT
I am hopeful. I also am uncertain. I agree that a change in "politics" is long overdue, but I don't think that a change in "politicians" assures a change in "politics." I have hope in grassroots democracy, yet I don't see the voice of the people rising to the halls of power. What is missing is not political will (though many people live quietly outside of political discussions). What is missing is a "social technology" that preserves the voice of the people as the flow of many voices come together. What also is missing as a way of toning down the volume of the voices of corporations when we are trying to hear the voices of people. What can those communities where our practice of authentic democracy is strongest say to other communities about improving democracy? What can a new wave of political leaders tell us about improving the transfer of grassroots democracy to the halls of power? Barack gives me hope. A national council on the best practice in community democracy could give me confidence.

I am sorry but Mitt Romney would make an aweful president. Don't get me wrong, I like McCain and am not an anti-republican, but I can't stand Romney. Durring his debate last Saturday, he couldn't hold his temper. he yells at people who disagree, has a closed mind, and is a bad communitator. Sorry, but that's what i think. Write back if you disagree.
