WikiPolitics by project

Some of us need help developing the #WikiPolitics platform in each country/state/city...

Some of us note that ANYONE in our world can edit ANYTHING here. Please help us give REAL power to the people...

Some of us are open source open door open minded. Some of us will give you a voice...

WikiPolitics Project 1: #OpFerguson

Some of us suggest we start a provisional plan for OpFerguson and then use the same model across other cities, states and countries...

Some of us suggest the following provisional plan as a VERY rough first draft, but please ANYONE change ANYTHING…

1. Identify elections #ThePeople can compete in.

2. Identify and/or propose candidates that support #ThePeople.

3. Establish a foundation of support for those candidates and get them elected.

4. Hold those candidates accountable for their promises to #ThePeople.

5. If a candidate breaks a promise to #ThePeople recall that candidate and find a new one.

6. Remind all candidates that they are here to serve #ThePeople, to fix #OurProblems.

7. Remind the candidates that #ThePeople are awake now and change is coming…
