Making Government Operations More Open »

create a goverment website where all questions about whatever it is that the goverment does can be answered and simplified

Why Is This Idea Important?: to simplify the democratic process for the average worker

its been my experience to find our current system hard to navigate and a very complex system for the privilged few, perhaps opening up more avenues for people to have access to there government all the way to washington would be nice, i dont want to ask my senator to represent my issues i want direct contact with the truth. that way there is no way i can misinterpurt what you are saying

    I've been overwhelmed and completely frustrated as a citizen living abroad, with governement agencies passing the buck or giving you a local phone number! Hopefully a new website will also take a look at www.plainenglish.co.uk where they have worked to make accessible documents and answers into language we can all understand.

    I like this idea. As a country governed by it citizens, there will always be new persons coming of voting age. "Newbies" if you will, who need the help on getting started and learning the basics.

    The great experiment that is America meant including people who were not royalty in the process of self government. But back in the late 1700s, that still meant men and often major property owners.

    Today, it is an accepted notion that democracy means participation from everyone. And that means creating better on ramps to that participation.

    This would be good for beginners and more complicated issues.
