Good Luck with a Dysfunctional Democracy
Supporters: I apologize for my inability, so far, to create PeopleCount alone. Here’s a brief update.
I still need partners
Transforming Politics – September 2017 Newsletter
I finally published my first “monthly” newsletter. Here’s a copy, edited a bit.
PeopleCount is the possibility of having our elected officials be accountable to us. It’s the first thorough proposal to truly transform our political system.

Development continues, slowly.

PeopleCount’s Launch Schedule
PeopleCount at this point, is an idea, plans, a blog, and some unfinished software. There’s no target launch schedule.
I believe a team of 3 could finish the software in 3 months, and complete an alpha and beta in 2-4 more months. We could powerfully begin to transform politics in 2017.
Since I’m the only one working on it, and I have a day job, and don’t have the front-end skills needed, the 9 person-months could take 3-6 years.
It’s depressing to think about. So much potential, wasting away.
I’ll keep looking for possibilities, ways to move forward…
