YouTube Democracy in Action

I recently came across this YouTube video by Chris Dodd, who is sponsoring a bill to restore Habeus Corpus to America.



I think this is a tremendous use of YouTube (I'm over the water skiing squirrel.) Can you imagine a day where all Senators and Congressmen record and publish the reasons for each vote and publish on the Internet?

What more effective way to combat the terrible effect of those 30 second attack ads that we all endure as elections grow near. Now, forward thinking politicians have an unedited communication channel with which to articulate their thinking.

Over 10,000 citizen co-sponsors went to his website to "sign up". I hope this is the future of democracy in action.
