Dear Thomas et al.,

just was alerted by Larry Lessig’s blog to the Voice of the People project,
which is developing innovative (and scientifically valid) ways to allow
“Members of Congress to hear from a representative sample of their
constituents on key issues facing Congress.”  Create a Citizen Cabinet: A
scientifically selected representative sample of over 120,000 Americans
would be regularly consulted on policy issues, using new online interactive
tools.

Sounds very similar to a Reference Parliament, doesn’t it?

cheers,
Volker
