This rightto vote directly on issues is guaranteed to us by the United States Constitution. It caneasily be managed on the Internet by making a few small changes in the laws of this landand in the way that we vote. The government knows about this potential for realdemocracy in America, but they are suppressing any news about it. In 2000, the DefenseDepartment gave the green light to a Pilot Project called, Voting Over the Internet. Theycreated a secure software and gave it to several thousand Americans living overseas and put the BALLOT on the INTERNET for the voters to make their choices electronicallyand completely without any printed copies of their voting.How do we get the AMERICAN PEOPLE to LEARN that they have the TOOLS and theABILITY TO have REAL DEMOCRACY in America?WE GIVE THEM A GAME.GO TO: www.survivoryoutube.comAND PARTICIPATE NOW. READ the rest of the book LATER.
 
In a report that is available on the Internet, the government concluded that the project was“An overwhelming Success.” And a “Historic event where citizens voted in complete privacy and in a secure environment for the candidates for President in 2000”. Thegovernment then, realizing what they had done, scrapped any further development of the project and ordered that there be no press allowed, no comments by any governmentofficials and it went largely ignored. But, they proved that Voting On The Internet is aviable concept. They proved that a system that is designed properly is hacker proof.They proved that people want to extend the right to vote onto the greatest technological boon ever invented, the Internet. They don’t want you to have this great advance becausethey know it will lead to a Real Democracy where people could start proposing some of the laws of the land and then vote on them, getting around the delays, the waste, fraudand abuse, the corruption, the tyranny of doing nothing that Congress forces upon us.This nation is now almost 50 Trillion Dollars in debt. You and I will owe this money toeach other. We can’t pay it of course, but don’t worry, the government will extend our credit and pass our debt along to our children and our children’s children indefinitely.This money will have to come from future generations of Americans or we will be forcedinto bankruptcy as a nation. This dark specter looms on the horizon and it will lead to theUSA becoming just another debtor nation, a third world nation, a nation that will beasking China, France, Italy, Japan for aid and assistance. The homeless will be on everystreet corner begging for food. Children will be wandering the streets in droves anddying in droves. We have squandered the great American Dream by allowing our electedofficials to screw this country, our prosperity, our legacy right into the ground. Worseyet, we have allowed them to scrap the Constitution and begin to whittle away at our God-Given rights. The world’s last and best hope will die.OR, there is a slight chance, a small ray of hope that possibly the citizens of this greatnation living now, will make a big change, perhaps the biggest change in our history.They could and should begin the process of creating another branch of government, a branch that is the basis of all other branches, the branch of government that we shall call,the DDA. The Direct Democracy in America, composed of National Ballot Measures or  National Initiatives and Referenda, whatever you want to call it, but call it loud and clear,the only way to take the reigns of power and give it back to the people, the ordinarycitizens, the consumers, the backbone of the greatest economy in the world, thefoundation, the reason for government to exist, the origins, the soul of a real democracy,the only people who matter.These and many other problems are being addressed by an administration with theconsent of Congress in directions that the VAST MAJORITY of Americans do NOTapprove and would not approve if the Congresses ideas, stalling, compromises, etc wereactually put on the ballot. If these issues were PLACED ON THE BALLOT and giventhe common sense approach that only ordinary citizens can conceive, then they mightapprove some of these solutions in National Ballot Measures, something we don’t doright now, but this book is proposing to begin.
 
In America, we supposedly live in a democratic nation. The President and Congressmenand women constantly use the term, “DEMOCRACY” in relation to America’s foreign policies every chance they get. And, yet, they refuse to give us a any real democracy because they like the power to control us concentrated in the hands of a few, them andtheir lobbyist friends. Thus, we suffer in this country only a second-rate, substitutedemocracy, an imitation democracy, a sham democracy. And, unless you the readers of this book take some positive actions we will tell you later on, they will never give realdemocracy to the American people. Oh sure, it’s OK for our soldiers to fight and die for a democracy in Iraq. In fact, our leaders want to spend our hard-earned moneyeverywhere in the world where they say they are going to have a democracy but when itcomes to advancing and upgrading our fledgling democracy to a Real Democracy, asDirect Democracy, a government wherein the people are allowed to decide their fate, theyrefuse to even talk about it in public, afraid that we may demand it more.With a little input from the American people we could reverse global warming startingtomorrow. We could lower our national debt. We could stop this war and prevent manyothers. We could control our consumer prices. We could put a cap on the prices we payat the pump. We could do something about health care and homelessness. We couldsolve the social security problem. We could stop the funding of illegal andunconstitutional operations by our own spy agencies. We could raise or lower our taxesto suit our needs. We could subsidize the solar and alternative fuel industry so that therewill be more competition with gasoline faster. We could put huge taxes on gas guzzlerswhich are the main cause of global warming. We could require American corporations tostop the exporting of jobs.What this book is all about is the introduction to the American people of a few simpleminor adjustments in the way we do our political business so that we can have a DirectDemocracy similar to the one enjoyed in other more advanced nations such asSwitzerland. In Switzerland, for over one hundred years, the citizens there are allowed tovote on practical solutions to their problems proposed out of popular debate and their decisions are legally binding and can over-ride any laws that their legislature makes for them. In Switzerland, they have control over their taxes, their defense spending and other government spending. They control the waste, fraud and abuse by their governmentleaders. As a result of Voting for National Ballot Measures, they have never been at war and there is no unemployment in their country and there is no social chaos. They havecomplete control over their crime rate. They never experience their children beingmassacred in their schools. The trains run on time. There are no traffic jams. They haveno inflation or federal deficits. Their currency, the Swiss Franc, is the most stable andrespected in the world. In short, everything runs like a Swiss Watch. The Swiss peopleare respected all over the world and no one hates them.We could have a nation even better than this. We could do all these things and much,much more. Some of the ideas for National Initiatives that you read here in these pagesare from the mind of one person. Imagine the creative energy unleashed by millions of taxpayers in a true democracy, a democracy that actually fostered and promoted ideas of the average citizens and allowed the best of the best ideas to wind up on a National Ballot
