Fueling the Engine of Democracy
These donations go directly to the Democracy, Straight-Up! Project which has the mission of establishing and serving the needs of Directly-connected Legislatures (DcLs) in all 435 US congressional districts. With your help, the first one(s) will be up-and-running on January 3rd, 2029. That means the voters will have seized control of the button, resulting in the DcL having a direct vote on the floor of the US House of Representatives. It will take a lot of hard work between now and then, but we have everything we need to make it happen, except for one essential ingredient—$$$$
It won’t even be that expensive! The $100-million—a-year democracy reform industry is engaged in the laudable, but thankless, high-friction work of trying to ‘reform’ the legacy system, which stubbornly resists their efforts. A small fraction of that amount would fund the Direct Revolution, and once its engine is up and running, it becomes a lean, mean problem-solving machine! “We call it a DcL because it is the engine of democracy!”
Sadly, the logic of the legacy system has talked so many people into believing the lie—that liberation from elite control would be impossible, or that it would make things worse. That is a myth! So, if you are one of the people who gets that, who sees it, and you are fired up to do something about it—let’s make it happen!
