Democracy as a Building Block
We propose an idea that uses a democratic process as a building block for communities. It harnesses the ideas, skills, and passions of neighbors and through online and offline tools, displays the information in an interactive way. Neighbors can support each other’s startup ideas, collaborate, and invest in their community directly and personally. By starting with local innovation and existing human potential, the community can become self-reliant. As a result, it’s even easier for government programs to support local development in meaningful way.

I like what you submitted. I have also entered the competition. Please watch the video I created that also uses the web - but my proposal is more simple and focused on an immediate problem that affects virtually every person who votes.
I hope to win. My entry proposes a practical step to bring us closer to a true democracy.
