I foresee the potential to eliminate the power of the big corp lobbies if the majority of voters can register their wishes with their President and cabinet, Congress and Senate-even the Chief Justices via your Website. The limiting factor is each Reps. electronic inability to process the information or votes. Perhaps the first step is mandating our elected officials have the software and servers to handle input from their constituency. The big money lobbyists are going to hate this!

This is a great piece showing the open-gov movement from a wide range of perspectives. It's really simple - open data and let people - citizens - work with it to pay it forward back to their communities and nation. Awesome job conveying this message.

If I were a judge, you'd be on my short list. Look at my submission. It takes your general Hacking idea and brings it down to a very specific appllicaion - and will require a lot of people willing to input data. "Elections Clarified" https://vimeo.com/64616892 or
