Matthew, nothing is more important than empowering citizens with the tools to better manage and participate in our elections and government, via a well designed, useful and value added web portal/app. You are on the front lines, at the right time and place. You are the most important CEO of the most important company for the future of the free world.

You can see and feel the dismal political results from the current way of doing things, largely unchanged since the early days of our representative democracy: Gov’t 1.0: A circus with clowns running the show, fueled by corruption and big money with an increasingly detached and skeptical citizenry.

In 2010 I had a brain storm, a vision of how the right tools coupled with the power of the internet could usher in Gov’t 2.0. Since then I’ve been developing it while working my “day job” and starting a family. Along the way Brigade, iCitizen, Coffee Party, TYT, Represent.Us and other ideas have sprung up but none have built a compelling and widely used solution. The problem is still an opportunity in reverse…

Since “nothing is more important than empowering citizens…” and you seem to be at a crossroads, I’d like to council with you ASAP. And very seriously, I will drop all my other projects in an instant, to work with or for Brigade, to share and develop a compelling, incredibly useful and mass adopted zitegeist solution.

Matthew, please contact me via Brigade (T1@newpoliticalsystem) or follow on Twitter (https://twitter.com/NewPoliticalSys) so I can message you. Lets talk, I am just across the Bay in WC!
