This was a great idea and I'd like to see it a continuing process and to have it improved as time proceeds. The specifics are:
1) That it continue and that the President respond to the top items each week. That way there would be a continuing conversation.
2) That the procedures for finding ideas be improved, perhaps by open sourcing it, so that a user could show the Idea titles ordered by say: Recent, Top, Controversial, Tag, Title-Contents, Tag, and others that I don't think about.
3) Start moving toward threaded, rated... comments so that it might be easer to benefit form the comment stream.
4) Attach a Pro and a Con WIKI to each idea to see if the people who voted Pro, and Con could develop detailed proposals for their ideas. (Note: this might not work, but I'd like to see if it did)
5) Try to involve our representatives and allow them to comment on the ideas and identify their comment
6) Add a "Preview" (I forget if this is implemented, though I'd replace "Post" by "Preview and then Post") and "Speller" so that the submitter could see who the posting and comment looks before it is submitted.
Others... I'd be interested to read other suggestions and cements on the specifics by people who, hopefully, could make constructive additions and modifications to this idea

Let tax payers to allocate, say 1% of their taxes as they want. This would not be enough to prevent our representatives from doing the business of the government, but would show, on a yearly basis how the people think their money should be spent.
In addition, I would like the results, with proper statistical categorization to be available so that we could see which groups, areas, etc. wanted to send the money in different ways.
If it worked out, then perhaps the percentage could be increased and the option, to reduce the amount money to the government could be added by permitting people to allocate some money to a charity.

Ensure that no bill, ammendment, etc. be approved or signed, except in emergencies until it is posted in final form for a sufficient time. The "Read the Bill" project http://www.readthebill.org , proposes 3 days, I would prefer 7 days.
Also contact your representative and have them make a commitment that they will vote against any bills that have posted for 3-7 days.
