Who Elected You?

Unknown reader elected to position of power!

"Direct democracy is being given a shot."

Greetings senator! You are reading the official paper for new citizen senators. Congratulations on your rising to this position without needing to go through normal channels. You are a citizen of this country and now have the right to vote upon the issues of the day.

If you are impatient to begin exercising your power you need only head over to the most recent congressional session and register your votes.

You may instead wish to see how our new president Barack Obama voted in the 2007-2008 senate session. You may also browse the votes of any other member of the 110th congress.

You may browse any part of this paper without creating an account, but if you wish to vote and find who your political buddies are then you will need to create an account.

Most-Talked-About Bills

It has been said that direct democracy cannot work. It is said that representative democracy is necessary because the affairs of state require minds who study and know the issues about which they vote.

Yet, how can it be said that they do represent those who voted for them? Historically the answer has been that it is nearly impossible. They speak prettily and act as if they share our passions and wish to be our friends. Yet all too often they are not our friends.

Royals discussing your fate.

Most voters, if they knew the truth, would say that they talk like my friends, but they vote like my enemies. But, how could interested voters find out the truth?

The only way to know for sure is to vote on the issues yourself and mathematically calculate who votes most similarly.

That is the service provided here.
