Ten Reasons to Use the Electronic Townhall to Resolve Citizen
Consensus on Nutrition, Vaccines, and Environmental
Chemicals
1. Decisions affecting human development require direct citizen consent.
7. Separates scientific evidence from political power.
8. Protects minority voices without granting minority control.
9. Enables adaptive policy over time.
10. Reasserts human sovereignty over human biology

The Electronic Townhall
It is a known fact that the members of the US Congress and the State Legislatures do not read or debate the particulars of the Legislation they vote on.
They cannot read or debate the issues because the Laws and Bills approach 500 pages each. And they do this 65 times per day.
During the 1992 Presidential campaign Ross Perot called attention to this by observing that "a general lack of accountability among elected officials and those in the bureaucracy was the one specific reason that the people in America suffered".
Mr. Perot then suggested that the best and perhaps only way to make government officials accountable was to include the citizens in the decision making process - every hour, every day. He went on to note that this can easily be done with computers
and called this proposal: THE ELECTRONIC TOWNHALL.
With this computer program every interested citizen can indicate
whether or not they agree or disagree with every line item of every sentence of every law, policy and program on the books or that was being advanced. It can be used at every level of government and in every jurisdiction.
To prevent chaos, the basic law, our Constitution and Bill of Rights would be exempt from review.
Mr. Perot speculated that the Founding Fathers would probably have done the same had the technology been available. He referred to it as the Fourth Branch of government; The Citizens Branch / The Electronic Townhall.
If the government is truly of the people, by the people and for the people then what better way is there to perfect every section of the various laws and policies that do effect each and every one of us every single day?
Fifty thousand citizens per congressional district—each qualified to hold public office—shall evaluate assigned portions of law and render a daily ratify or annul judgment while Congress is in session. At four pages per participant, up to 200,000 pages can be examined in full each day, with each portion reviewed by multiple independent citizens.
A quorum of 50,000 participants is required. Ratification is determined independently by district and requires no fewer than 75% in the affirmative. In the absence of quorum, no measure is ratified.
No law shall be enforced within any district absent ratification.
The authority to ratify includes the authority to revise or annul. Any existing law, and all statutes or regulations deriving from it, may be modified or nullified by the same seventy-five percent supermajority of participating citizens within a district.
The program would even allow a citizen to go back and change his vote as he matured. And when a super majority of 75% is reached the law is either ratified or annulled by the immediate recognition of the enforcement mechanisms.
With tens of millions of laws and tens of thousands of taxes there is plenty of work to be done.
According to Mr. Perot, this, the harnessed experience and the combined intelligence of hundreds of thousands or even millions of citizens focused like a laser light on the real issues, will, as surely as night follows the day, perfect every law in our country and eventually it will right every wrong.
Just bought my virtual ticket Dr T. as I cannot attend in person.
Excellent Sylvie! Thanks! We promise to deliver an exceptional conference.

THE ELECTRONIC TOWNHALL is the only way forward.
Looking forward to catching up with my dear friend Mark Trozzi and to meeting many new friends at this exciting event.
