Short Biography:

Steven Clift is the Director of the new "Democracies Online" project and Co-Editor of the G7 Government Online and Democracy White Paper which will be released this fall.

In 1994, he started "Minnesota E-Democracy", a not for profit, non-partisan organisation which established the world's first election-oriented WWW site. From December 1994, through to July 1997, he co-ordinated the State of Minnesota's Government Online North Star Project which recently received state sponsorship to the tune of $1m from the Minnesota Legislature.

Through the establishment of Democracies Online, he will now focus on broader opportunities and challenges related to the convergence of democracy and the Internet, acting as consultant to governments and communities worldwide.

This will be the ONLY opportunity for Press, Media and campaigners to meet with this pioneer of Electronic Democracy on the WWW during his current European Tour.

Help Needed for "The Walk For Democracy"

Hello, all! My name's Jeanette Wallis, and I've spent the last 6 months of my life walking across America for Democracy. I started collecting "grievances" (hand-written notes to the President) in Seattle, and left on April 1st to collect more from my fellow Americans and deliver them personally to the White House. There are many reasons to do such a nutty thing, but most important to me was to give people HOPE. I understand that feeling of powerlessness and apathy - which is why I hope to demonstrate that even one person, despite impossible odds, can make a difference.

The problem is, my odds are overwhelmingly against me at the moment. After the 9/11 tragedy, I took a break in Logan, Utah after walking 1,050 miles. I was devastated by the event, but I was also concerned that my message would be terribly misunderstood in this difficult time. I came here to Portland, Or to do some fundraising (donations ceased completely after 9/11), but have not been able to find work. I am penniless and without a support driver for the difficult winter months through Colorado and Nebraska. I don't qualify for any grants, being an "individual" (which is truly a shame - why NOT support courageous individual action?!), and the dozens of letters to foundations and organizations which might support me have gone unanswered.

Don't get me wrong, though! I fully anticipated more difficulties than even this. When you take on a task like mine, you must be prepared to encounter difficulties. I'm posting here precisely because I refuse to give up. One of these times, I am confident the exact right person is going to read one of my posts. Is it here? Who can say - but if there IS a person out there who would find value in helping me as a support driver or with a small monetary donation (every a tiny bit helps at this point!), please e-mail me. I look forward to ANY correspondence. Please check out my webpage for more information about my walk - www.thewalkfordemocracy.org

Blessings to you all!

International Constitution

The world leaders are 'at the whim of the mores' meaning there are more of us than there are of them. The problem is we have never been able to agree on anything. If we can stand as one in favor of a thing then we will get it.

O.I.C. and G.S.P. (Global Standards Policy)

- Instate internationally based infinite source treasury

- Replace armies with police to eliminate all possiblities of war

- Legalize vice activities in adult resort areas

- Ban taxation and nuclear weapons in every country

- Increase workers pay while decreasing work hours

- Upgrade the standard of living with amazing new architecture

Your help is needed!

A few people are already involved, but we need many more. All that is asked of you is that you read the documents then contact me if you want to help spread word of this International Revolution.

Online Activists Wanted

You can make a difference!

Architecture for The New Earth

We are on the brink of an evolutionary leap. As beasts of burden we have been for the most part, many oppressed, some starve...

What if this planet was transformed by a miracle? Consider the possiblity that all workers could be paid directly from an infinite source internationally based treasury.

Pay could be increased, work hours could be reduced. The struggle to make ends meet replaced by simple but effective industrial improvements.

Our International Constitution and Global Standards Policy have been written. Their aim is to not only ban nuclear weapons in every part of the world but to end what is actually slavery.

Using a perfected version of the polygraph machine the crime rate is reduced. The quality of life is enriched past what the wealthy at present currently are in possession of, and is equal for all.

Please read O.I.C. and G.S.P. and see for yourself. These prophetic blueprints fulfill scripture and allow humanity to enter into a bright new future. One free of lack and danger.
