[Campaignforrealdemocracy] draft statement

[james holland]

comments please!



Real democracy means, at the minimum, completely open community based 
decision making run broadly on consensus principles having the final say 
on everything that happens in that community


a few notes

what is a community - communities define themsleves and can be virtual 
as well as real, people can be part of many communities but it is up to 
communities themsleves how they define membership and what rights 
different kinds of members might have (e.g. only residents have a right 
to block proposals). However, The CRD will focus on helping small 
geographical based communities where there are disputes between members 
of the community and current governing institutions to define 
themselves, increase participation / legitimacy use that to resist 
unwelcome activity and take postive actions for the benefit of the 
communities.
