Citizens United Reporters
Been sleeping on what actions to take to recover the US government to the people and this is my idea.

Set up web site(s) that let constituent citizens keep track of their representatives. Armed with video phones they can make a record of the reps' comings and goings and meetings. Conduct interviews with questions from other constituents and generally keep an eye on them for the rest of us.

At least 2 people working on reporting for each rep while congress is in session.

Would need some laws to delineate and protect citizen reporters too. Like ordering the justice department to get data from NSA on hackers that try to mess with the website with serious penalties - for this is a matter of national security now with the failure of the MSM to do their job in watching congress and with foreign money and agents influencing legislation.

Hi ho hi ho, check back this evening. Who can do what?

1. K&R and bookmarking because.....

I think there are several ideas percolating that have the potential to coalesce beautifully. I think yours is a great idea.

Here is an idea I proposed yesterday: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x406935
