I've just launched http://the99percentvotes.com (or http://the99vote.com for short) as a platform for submitting, discussing, and voting on public policy ideas.

There are several purposes/goals of the website, including:
(1) To crowdsource policy and establish it as a key driver of political debate and government action
(2) To create a new method for candidates to gather votes that is not dependent on money
(3) To help voters assess which candidates they ought to vote for based on like-mindedness in policy preferences

http://the99percentvotes.com/howitworks explains the plan to make democracy work bottom up.

Let me know what you think, and I hope to see you on the site. If you don't add "Sustainable Energy For All" then I will!

Thanks,
Greg
