Nevada Vote Direct

Hello Everybody,

My name is Sophie, and I’ve been asked to administer the NVD website. This is an honor that’s taken me quite by surprise. In fact, for the longest time I’ve not been involving myself in the community. You might even call me a recluse. I work for myself and live “far from the madding crowd.”

But Daniel asked me if I might consider administering NVD online, and to tell you the truth, I was thrilled. I’m quite sure NVD is the most important thing that has happened in politics since George Washington. I mean that sincerely, and so I’m thoroughly overwhelmed to have this great privilege.

Anyway, I am now your NVD WebMaster. I’ll do everything in my power to help you get the most out of the experience of particpating online at the world’s first electronic direct democracy. Please never hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions or suggestions. You can reach me at the following email address:

And you can also communicate with me just by making a post or a comment online. I’ll be reading everything published at NDD, and so I’ll be sure to respond to any posts or comments that you direct to me.

Best regards,
Sohpie
NDD WebMaster

Hello Fellow Citizens,

Please feel free to write anything you like in this category, Discussion. There are various places at NVD where your communications are welcome. Of course, you may always submit Motions. And on the page that is assigned to every Motion you will find space for comments in which you may try to influence how other voters think about the issue (look for the “Comment Box” below the Motion). But you may also want to enter your posts and comments here on the Discussion Pages. You may use these pages just to express yourself, or to ask questions, or to propose a subject on which you and others may offer comments and replies.

The Motion Pages really ought to be used to comment on the specific individual Motions and the issues related to them (always one page per Motion, with comments listed chronologically in receeding order). But, here on the Discussion pages, you may want to just vent on any old subject, or brainstorm, or tell us all a funny joke - for if we’re not laughing we’re not healthy.

This is a good place to ask questions, if you like. Or to highlight a need that has no clear solution that can be formulated in a Motion. As people discuss it, an idea for a Motion might naturally emerge.

As always, yours truly, your WebMaster (ooh, what a word!), will be reviewing all posts and comments, so don’t worry about stumbling upon anything obscene or abusive. On that point, I’d just like to say that I’m a great believer in free speech, and I’m confident you will be satisfied with my moderation of these forums. But, as should obviously be kept in mind, here at Nevada Vote Direct, I serve in this position at your pleasure. Motions to replace me, your WebMaster, are always in order. And I promise there will be no hard feelings in that event. I simply can’t wait to see all of you taking an active role in NVD, and I will welcome that no matter what.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions, suggestions, or just want to say HI.
