Because our elected representatives are influenced by corporations and lobby groups which only represent the interests of a minority in our society, we have a dysfunctional democracy. In order to realize the will of the majority and have a just society, the voice of all now needs to be heard. This can be accomplished through direct democracy. We are rejecting the actual process of decision making that is leading to inequalities and demand immediate change so that we, as a society, are aware and decide instead of being represented by biased politicians. We the people are demanding the first real true democracy, one where all voices have meaning and where laws can be passed or voided only when we the people agree to it.
We the people are united and strong.
Well said.
The videos of those in the streets are what we know about the power of protests in the arab spring. The rest can be scripted. Human rights are more important than majority wins.
