Intimidation, Denial of Constitutional Rights to Elder, Riverside County, Court Corruption - 0 views

  •  
    The court and DA office have been unbeleiveably corrupt. They really feel they are above the law. Lee Frank lost her husband and her income. The DA and Sheriff for political favors covered up the homicide and claim the victim funds. They told Lee she could not apply. So far zero help, and the killer and his parents were allowed to stalk Lee, her neighbors and family with zero hiding it. It is disgusting. I hope we can find a real American in the Goverment of CA, and USA. If you know one please ask him to help us. Thank you

Journalism.co.uk :: 'Democratic legitimation via the web is not enough', says Clay Shirky - 0 views

  • There needs to be some mechanism by which executive or legislative branches can say we are taking this under advisement, but we are not taking dictation [from special interest groups]
    • Tracy Viselli
       
      This is the crux I think--rather than taking it under advisement, can't there be a bridge between digg style and taking it under advisement? And what is the bridge or layer to add?
  • "All the rhetoric,  including - I'm embarrassed to say - some of mine, has assumed in the past that democratic legitimation is itself enough to regard aggregate public opinion as being clearly binding on the government," Shirky explains.
  • "I've changed my mind,"
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • For example, during the Obama campaign, he watched the campaign for legalisation of the medicinal use of marijuana become a prioritised item on the Change.gov website.
  • this type of online phenomenon is a 'net positive' for democracy, it is not 'an absolute positive.' It doesn't necessarily mean these representational tools are a replacement for the vote,
  •  
    Clay Shirky on net positives and absolute positives? How do we get there and still give the it's due?

The White House - Blog Post - Change has come to WhiteHouse.gov - 0 views

  •  
    What's really interesting is where what used to be the typical schedule information will go. Info about speeches and appearances where what used to dominate the site. Now it seems that information will appear as blog entries...?
  •  
    Yes, now that the public is more accustomed to the blogging format, updating the blog with speeches and appearances will make sense. They still need to have a static page that contains all speeches for instance.
