YOU Can Control Your Governments

About the Book

This book is about democralcy - in its truest sense. It describes how the average citizen can gain control over his elected representatives. It describes how the really important matters of governing - the issues - can, where enough citizens are concerned about them, be decided not by party leaders, but by the citizens themselves. And that the results will be better for the community. It brings our cherished ideas about democracy into the 21st Century. It is a must read by anyone who cares about his childen, his municaplity, his state or province, his country.
