What are we suggesting?

Incorporate e-VotingBooth.com in the Constitutional Amendment. Enable all Americans. e-VotingBooth.com is the most powerful tool our country will ever have to communicate Americans’ legislative desires.

A major advantage, besides mobilizing readers, is population-level demographics. You see, in setting up their free accounts voters enter the same demographic data they provide in the census. This allows voters to provide far more than just a thumbs-up or down: Americans can tell Congressmen who they are through their votes without providing any private or personal information.

Another feature of the site leverages the demographic data: individuals can not only vote each bill or resolution but they can also provide comments. This would facilitate a controversial bill introduced and publicized to learn if Americans accept the idea in general and how to adjust the bill in particular to better meet the desires of voters as expressed in the comments. For example, voters can easily say they accept the bill in general but object to one or two sections—then make recommendations on how to ‘fix’ those sections. The comments, along with the demographics, provide heretofore unheard-of feedback, all at a statistical population level vs. sample level (polls).

For the voters, feedback of their actual participation in the legislative process of America is instantaneous: bottom line (Yea and Nay) percentages of voting to-date are provided within 1-2 seconds of each vote submitted. Americans can vote at any time on any bill (once introduced), they're not tied to the voting schedule of any bill. They can even vote bills already enacted.

Why vote a bill already enacted?

Because we’re currently building our Voting Scorecard. This tool is effectively a report card and will list all votes along with the votes of the individual’s representative, senators, VP and President, where applicable. The bottom line number for each Congressman will be a percentage indicating how each Congressman voted with or against the individual. For example, 80% means the public servant, or potential public servant, voted with the individual 80% of the voter’s total votes. This is powerful information every American can use when making decisions in future elections.

It will also provide the mechanism to strongly encourage Congress to heed “the wisdom of crowds” (American citizens) instead of the whispers in their ears from special interests and donors (the ‘so-called experts’). Though ‘election results’ from e-VotingBooth.com are not binding, Congressmen in the long-term will want to ensure a significant majority of their votes are in-line with a significant majority of their constituents. e-VotingBooth.com is the tool to drive the whole system.

The site is easy to use. For a quick tour go to http://www.e-votingbooth.com/tour.php.

e -VotingBooth.com is a non-partisan, private and veteran-owned company that assumes a fiduciary responsibility to provide this "public trust" as the only tool for all Americans to participate in the legislative process of the U.S. Congress.

This is exactly the kind of change America needs right now. Our system has become corrupted. Any efforts taken to reform the system from the inside will not succeed because the system wants to preserve its power with the status quo. I personally believe e-VotingBooth.com is the only hope of peacefully and lawfully preserving this republic, providing a solution to the inadequacies of our government AND evolving our country to a direct democracy.

Please consider adding e-VotingBooth.com to your amendment. This is the largest idea in government since the founding of our country 225 years ago. We can think of no bigger form of change for America than e-VotingBooth.com and is absolutely necessary in this time of financial crisis and unprecedented challenges facing our country.

Thank you for considering e-VotingBooth.com. If you have any questions, or would like to explore other opportunities, please visit our site.
