Objective: To designate the “Top” page from Policies for People as an official government platform to foster citizen engagement, streamline public policy discussions, and allow government officials and citizens to collaborate on pressing issues and policy proposals in an open, transparent environment.
Rationale: The “Policies for People” forum has developed as a space for thoughtful discourse on current policy issues and ideas. By integrating this platform into the official government website, we can create a streamlined, centralized location for citizen engagement. This page will allow the public to propose, discuss, and vote on policy suggestions while providing government officials insight into citizen priorities. The move would strengthen democratic processes, increase transparency, and establish a formal means of gathering public input on legislative initiatives.
This would be a very exciting process to organize, format, monitor, analyze and disseminate data both to those in positions of power to implement the policies, and the public contributors.
That would not work bc it’s to time consuming for them to read everything. That’s why they are here to give them the ones with the ones with the most likes and most comments and that’s why we need to combine bills so their isn’t as many and they get more votes.
I think a yes or no or revives should be there. And the persons on the committee who worked on it so we could leave messages with those offices. Or set an email or that particular area. So they can read our responses just the team that puts it together.
Maybe show the bill a week before on a website so we can say yes, no, revives.
And give reason. So they know before they bring to the House.
Hey MaryL, Maybe this is why they limit the votes. Once everyone learns how to remove one of their votes from articles that are not as popular as we expected them to be, we can add it to the ones that are! I did that just now.
