TexasLindsay and Global Representatives
TexasLindsay, thanks for helping. There are real needs in the world that are not being met:
If you were an independent Representative working through the Internet, you could Represent Americans and their families outside the US. You could represent all citizens of the world to work for fairness, open and auditable systems.
A true and independent Representative on the Internet could serve Americans and others in gerrymandered districts or where the current Representative only help their winning party, not all people. Many places have 50-50 splits, half the people are not Represented fairly at all. Voting means nothing at all now, and there is no way to hold Representatives accountable for anything.
If you do a good job, you can get support. If you are a nonprofit, you file open reports, annual reports and are independently audited for financial and program effectiveness. A Board of Directors and clear and open rules. that can adapt. help keep things real.
If you are global, you can help resolve global and systemic issues and help focus global opportunities and programs. You can even audit UN and international procedures of all countries.
Richard Collins, The Internet Foundation
