Radical Writings: Steps Towards Direct Democracy

 

 

• The first step is making people aware that the technology now exists to make Direct Democracy a reality.

• The second step is helping people to overcome their fear of the technology and their fear of change itself.

• The third step is confronting our “elected” officials and challenging their positions and votes on issues. Are they really representing the people?

• The fourth step is demanding our constitutional right to change the voting process and to institute Direct Democracy. Just think of all the money we, as taxpayers, could save by eliminating elected officials! Just think of the progress we could make by eliminating the deadlock and corruption in Washington, D.C. and at the state and local levels!

• REMEMBER: WE DO NOT NEED ELECTED OFFICIALS — THEY NEED US TO KEEP THEM IN POWER!

2019 Response:

I no longer support the idea of Direct Democracy because it turns into mob rule. The U.S. Constitution provides the protections we need to protect the rights of ALL citizens of the United States.
