Having moved around the country quite a bit, I feel like Americans in most areas of the country are only concerned with the Presidential and state Senate elections. I feel like fewer people than one would think could even tell you who their congressman is, let alone their county assemblyman, or district judge.
I think that if people were more involved in their local politics than they would be more inclined to see which issues are on the floor in congress, and might feel open to telling their local congressmen or senators what they think.
I propose the Federal Government create a one-stop database where people can look up their elected officials, all the way down to their town and county officials. Through this database, officials would update their 'status' in regards to what propositions are up for vote, how they voted, ect. Citizens would be able to leave comments on these officials profiles and thus feel like they had more involvement in the system.
