Democracy which can be ignored


New Websites
are starting to pop up which are designed to give the new U.S/ president ideas.

Whitehouse2.org, a Website launched this week by activist and film-maker Jim Gilliam, has invited users to suggest a priority for the next President's first 100 days in office.

Currently, the top voted policy was to “Stop the Iraq war," followed by "Enact universal, single-payer healthcare." Some of our favorites included, “Prosecute George W. Bush for his crimes against humanity,” which was ranked third.

Another site, BigDialog.org, which has popped up, includes the eCitizen Foundation, gives users the opportunity to ask the President-elect a question by video or in writing. Users vote on the questions they would most like the next President to answer.

It promises to deliver the top most popular questions to the next President-elect's transition team and post any replies on the site.
