For the City of L.A., Charter reform input and a dialogue with Mayor Riordan are on the agenda. Countywide, we hope that business, labor and the non-profits will find the common footing they need to coordinate their strategies. Our larger goal is to build a collective voice for humanity. L.A., with its size and diversity, makes an excellent model for the world. Success here will give us the credibility and contacts we need to go global.
Collective communication is a form of electronic democracy.
There is no set form for a proposal, so a poem or story might easily carry the day over the lawyerly paragraph. All the world appreciates wit and good feeling, and that's what we expect to find in messages from the community voice of Los Angeles. When people realize that they can wholeheartedly subscribe to their community voice, they will experience a welcome revolution in their feelings for their fellow citizens. In a divided world, support for the common ground can mean betrayal of one's own group. If you cooperate instead of going for the win, others may take advantage of you.
