The next phase in politics and technology will be utilizing internet/mobile tools to bring back civic participation in our local communities wherever we live.</p> <p>As former eCampaign Director for Ron Paul's presidential campaign, I learned how key it was for our supporters to be involved on the local level of politics and government. If we had a larger base of political support, we could have done better in primaries than we did otherwise. Our supporters would've understood the rules of the game in every state.</p> <p>Local politics is the vision that our Republic was founded upon, local community control, individuals organizing to make decisions about their communities &amp; their lives, not a strong centralized federal government in Washington, DC making our decisions.</p> <p>Currently, I work at Politicker.com an online political news site which is dedicated to covering the very local to state level politics in all 50 states (we have 15 states thus far). Our journalists on-the-ground in each state cover the political news and our anonymous "Wally Edge" gives us insider coverage.</p> <p>Hopefully, we can help to educate and inform a politically passionate citizenry to become more engaged with politics in their different localities -- which will then trickle up in the political system.</p> <p>Justine Lam<br /> Director of Online Marketing<br /> <a href="http://www.politicker.com" title="http://www.politicker.com">http://www.politicker.com</a> </p> Tue, 01 Jul 2008 19:58:08 -0400 Justine Lam comment 2201 at http://www.techpresident.com
