Consensus - A need for greater citizen participation

One of my campaign issues is to develop better ways to incorporate citizens' talent and effort into our governance. I consider the approach of standing committees with citizen participation, ward meeting, and town meetings (New England style), and the constitutional balance of powers such as bicameral (two houses) legislature, executive veto with legislative over ride, and the judicial powers that lay in the people with a court of appeals or a common law jury.

I can not impose any thing on the people, I can only ecourage the people to use the powers that reside in the people. My "Fractal Republic" is a speculation of how Riverdale Park might rise from an organization that works on simple majority (4 of 6 or 7), through a two house legislature that could assure super majority (4 of 5 in each body of legislature) to a common law jury (12 of 12 to support a government action).
