National E-initiative, referendum and recall

To:  U. S. President, Congress and all people

In accordance with the First Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, we petition the government to adopt national initiative, referendum and recall by online ballot (E-I,R&R) as well as by conventional paper ballot (I,R&R) and make it available to all citizens as soon as possible. The two processes themselves shall be employed to achieve this reform. This effort shall be known as “E-democracy.”

It is clear that our representative form of government, designed more than 200 years ago with the best technology of the time can no longer meet the challenges of the 21st. century. New computer technology is now available that can instantly link all people together, fully inform them of all life choices, allow full discussion of all issues, allow simulation of all alternatives, allow non-partisan benefit/cost analyses of them and finally, allow all people to vote their preferences when they please. The people can now represent themselves directly to redesign their world. This reform now needs to be implemented. It will allow society to achieve and continuously maintain the maximum aggregate quality of life and thus the probability of full cooperation, peace, productivity and sustainability necessary to survival. It will once again be possible to realize the goal of the Founders: “government with the consent of the governed.” And, it will provide the means whereby politicians promising change can actually achieve it. Failure to implement this could lead to eventual catastrophe as the old representative system becomes more and more obsolete.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
