Political activism and open source

What an intriguing idea. A group of people are beginning to create an open source project to give the American public more information about the inner happenings of the federal government. Seems like a way to get people in all sectors of the country involved: politicians, businessmen, geeks, and even the politically inactive.Bill Bradley, one of the proponents of the new idea, published a book earlier this year called The New American Story. The review makes it sound like quite a good read for those interested (and those who are not, but should be) in saving our nation from the political corruption we have begun to fall into. Something as simple as voting can change the face of politics, if only people would get out of their houses and do it.
