We often say that political technology can empower the
grassroots by
facilitating discussion and debate and by helping people organize, but
what we really need is engine that allows a citizen to churn through
legislation as it's developing and zero in on issues relevant to that
citizen's concerns... and ways for groups of concerned citizens to form
and respond. The legislation is public, and much of it is online, but
it's not necessarily comprehensible to civilians.
