DISQUS

President Elect Obama has to do something with any campaign monies left over. Wouldn't it be nice if the monies went into funding a standardized, more efficient and affordable method for counties throughout the US to handle elections?

Lawrence Lessig

In other words, via the internet the President would not longer be isolated from the people he leads while maintaining his safety? This is simply brilliant.

I agree, Anthony -- Lawrence Lessig would be a great choice. Or Ellen Miller of the Sunlight Foundation.

Oh man, I just gave my idea on how to fix the immigration problem, it is really cool if he can make the web a mean to manage the country and to bring down bureaucracy, we would save millions of dollars

Wow if people could comment on policies, ideas , issues as discussed in staff blogs they would be national advisors each and every one. Can you imagine your country as run by the sort of people who comment on Digg, on Slashdot or even the Onion ?

Congratulations! I have a suggestion. Appoint David Egesias as the Attorney General and give him a full box of blank subpoenas.

I am very excited by the idea of using the internet to not only reduce the costs of administering the government as it stands today but also going forward to harness the wisdom of the crowds, increase the access of citizens to their government and move further along the road towards a deeper democracy. Accordingly, I strongly disagree with the excerpted reader comment that "one vote shouldn’t count as one vote, votes should count proportionally with the influence and activity each verified user has on the rest of the community." That is undemocratic and unacceptable and rife with potential for abuse.

I am very behind technologically as I've been disabled for more than 10 years, so forgive my ifnorance. Anyway, this is the only site I found that made it easy to make a comment, so if someone could tell me where to take it or offer other comments, please do. Saw a news story about Obama's plan to appoint a Chief Technology Officer and want to suggest a candidate that seems a slam-dunk for me: Al Gore. I can think of all kinds of reasons (actually, thousands have probably also thought this; I just haven't seen it.

With great respect and renewed hope for HEALTH CARE instead of the prevailing system of EMERGENCY DISEASE CARE I am writing. I have a great amount of experience in helping people that want to be healthy. I have witnessed numerous healings that were considered impossible, like reversing Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Asthma, Migraines and numerous GI diseases (for a start) without drugs or dramatically diminshed amounts. No I am not a faith healer, just and MD who has spent her life learning and teaching. I would like to be an asset to your team. jessehanleymd.com
