Using Internet to change the face of democracy

Till recently, I felt as a citizen of this country only once every four years. Only then, the entire country wakes up to the fact that each and every one of us has some say in this big and long winding process of running a country. But it is heartening to see that technology is changing that now. A website like www.StateDemocracy.com has paved the way for a more interactive participation of citizens like us in the running of our government. Once you avail the free membership offered on this site, not only can you keep track of all the legislations and laws being made, you also get a chance to make yourself heard on them. You can directly get in touch with the people who govern your state and country and put across your views. You even get to vote for legislations and put up some of your own. This website allows its members to mark a few important legislations and helps track them closely. Through this site, one can get an insight into the minds of other citizens and participate in issue-based group discussions. In case you want to reach out to people, you can publish press releases through their database of more than 500 media outlets. Finally, this site also lets you register to vote. What else can you ask for?!!
