Forget protesting. Here is the easy way to direct government from your desktop
The protesters have made their point. Things are getting nasty and if they go any further they will be encouraging Martial law.

Now we must focus on the easy way to change your country and dispel corruption and save nature.

The good news is you don’t have to protest, go to a voting booth, or spend any money.

All we have to do is demand publically verifiable Internet voting. This would be by your picture, your fingerprint or some other, reliable and testable identification. This would be continuous voting, for all major issues and eventually local issues, too. People can vote when they find the time, and vote from their desktops or the library or even their phones. Various methods now exist to verify voting and better ones are coming in all the time. This can be done. One website already trying to do this is Americans elect org. Check it out and consider registering.

But what good is voting if the government doesn’t have to follow the popular vote? So we will need a new law that commands government to follow the popular vote. If the people do not want war with Iraq, then the people who are paying for it with their own flesh and blood and tax money simply say: no war. This law would restrict the government and all its associates.

But what if the government doesn’t want to listen to its own people? Then we set a date to withhold taxes, start civil disobedience, withhold cooperation, and any other payments to large corporations with lobbyists until the government is driven to its knees and agrees to follow the popular vote. If the movement had just 25 million people out of 350 million that would probably stop government in its tracks.

While we are at this, we need to demand a complete audit of government and the Federal Reserve to see where the money is going and how it is being printed. The people can control most corruption by simply having independent accountants analyze the books. I’m sure you wouldn’t let complete strangers manage your personal money and bank statements, would you? So my question is: Why do you allow complete strangers manage your personal money and bank statements? Gotcha, didn’t I?

That about does it!

Once we have 1) reliable Internet Voting, 2) A way to withhold taxes and cooperation, 3) a new law forcing Government to follow our vote, and finally 4) the Government’s and the Federal Reserve’s books, then we can begin to correct the many problems stemming from the terrible collusion between Government, Corporations, Banks and Lobbyists – and whatever else may be lurking in the shadows!

Let’s get this going shall we? The American Revolution is 200 years old, already.

You really want the government run by whoever has the best team of hackers? Realistically, this would mean that China would be running our government.

Besides, the thing about democracy that most people don't think about. Democracy is really two wolves and a sheep voting about what to have for dinner. Are you a wolf or a sheep?

Yes, I've heard that before and it's bunk. Trillions of dollars are passed around online everyday through encrypted networks. Everyone on GLP uses paypal for example. Voting is no different, and that argument that it will easily be hacked by the Chinese is not well thought out.

Remember, people will be able to check their own votes online and everyone else's, too. Big additions and subtractions to the vote would be easily detectable, the problem fixed, and the vote would just be redone. Hackers would go to prison as traitors. Countries who hack us can be severed from the voting network.

Applying personal pictures, city of residence, encryption, passwords, finger prints and cross indexing algorithms will more than solve this imaginary problem form the 1980's.

There are only 350 million people in America and we know their names and addresses. We know approximately how many will vote and how they will vote, etc. How bad can it really go?
