The National Initiative For Democracy Returning Government To The People. The National Initiative For Democracy is a proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and an accompanying federal statute. When enacted, the National Initiative will bring the People into government as lawmakers at the national level and in every state and local government jurisdiction in the United States. Beginning in 2002, the People of the United States will have an opportunity to enact the National Initiative in a national election conducted by the nonprofit corporation Philadelphia II.

  Granny D After her long walk across the United States for campaign finance reform, Granny D went back to a dozen states to protest, cajole, walk, meet, and lead. She led 80 friends into her own Congressman's office and finally forced his vote --a critical vote during the discharge petition phase. She was jailed twice. She spoke at dozens and dozens of book stores and campuses and was on the phone several times a day to reporters and radio programs. She helped to get the AARP on board, with its awesome lobbying and phone banking assets. During the Senate debate, she met with half the senators privately and fasted and walked around the senate around-the-clock in freezing rain. She did that so nobody could again dare say that ordinary Americans don't care.
