Question

 

I’ve just launched http://the99percentvotes.com

It’s a platform in which:
(1) people submit, discuss, and vote on public policy ideas
(2) popular policies are established and get traction in the debate
(3) candidates adopt popular policies because it’s in their interest to do so
(4) candidates are held accountable through monitoring consistency of views during campaign and in office and rewarding those who achieve their aims

It’s a common sense way to use the internet to get government working for the people. If it catches on, I think it can make a big difference.

How It Works – http://the99percentvotes.com/howitworks
About – http://the99percentvotes.com/about
Info for Candidates – http://the99percentvotes.com/info
Sign Up – http://the99percentvotes.com/signup (signup provides features like assessments of like-mindedness with other people and idea recommendations)

If you have ideas for further development, you can submit them to http://dev.the99percentvotes.com

I hope you’ll check it out and spread the word. I’ll check this thread to respond to any questions or comments.

Thanks,
Greg Orr

Subject: Emergency Proposal

Emergency Proposal

Due to the fact that this is a proposition for a third party political
party to campaign this election year we must move quickly.  Election
boards’ filing deadlines are to be met; funding, support,
contributions, and petitions are to be sought & gather; potential
candidates are to be vetted;  and other necessities need to be acquired
timely.

Many of our OWS’, members want to use the political process too as a
avenue to achieve our goals (see discussions between members on OWS”,
sites).  I see it as a disservice to us not to pursue elections this
year as a third party.  It will only help support the movement (Media;
financially; instrumentally; and in other ways).
Thus I proposal this group charter not only to OWS’, NYCGA; but also to
its National and Global GA’s.
On the above websites I had published the following:

MISSION
