. Excellent post. I trust you have no objection to my cc:'ing most of it to a couple of other groups I'm on that have had specific questions about FA/DP. In...
... No, no objection. What I've seen is that there is a series of knee-jerk objections to FA/DP, mostly rooted in a failure of the imagination. It contradicts...

... The trick with FA/DP is that the DP structure remains coherent if the organization splits (and FA/DP organizations can about as easily merge, they...
Notice that I have removed identifying information from this post. That's because I'm sending this to the fa-dp list as well as to the list from which the post...
Why exactly is it called "liquid democracy," by the way? I was thinking these definitions of liquid might be pertinent: "especially tending to flow," "smooth...
I think that we should start an advocacy organization to support more widespread use of delegable proxy. Any ideas for a name? It needs to be something...
- I don't know but it's a good idea. In the meantime, I promote it within the URT and the Common Law Institute. Gned the Gnome - - - President United *...
I have launched my campaign for Congress, which I believe is the first to advocate for abolishing Congress in favor of a delegable proxy system that would...

Interesting article, Nathan. Clay Shentrup and others have pointed out (and I reluctantly agree) that the Libertarian Party is harmful to the libertarian...
It's not quite that simple. The thing about the spoiler effect is that the more we cause it, the more it makes it obvious to voters that we need to switch to a...
It should also be noted that this may be the first Congressional campaign to ever include delegable proxy as a major platform plank, which is kinda cool in and...
On Tue, May 13, 2008 at 12:23 PM, Nathan Larson ... Your enthusiasm is contagious, and I really wish you all the luck in the world. :-) I wish I had some time...
... Actually, here is my comment, looking down from Mt. Olympus.... :-) Don't propose DP, as such, at this time for public use. It's utterly untested, and, as...
Go ahead and set it up, if you wish. You guys are the experts on this, so it makes more sense for you to do it than for me. I have to get out there and gather...
My website has been established: http://nathanlarsonforcongress.com/ I have come to the conclusion that, while FA-DP is the most effective method of...

OK, it's time to start taking some action for delegable proxy. I propose a statewide ballot initiative in Colorado to enact a constitutional amendment...
OK, I have set up the People's Power Alliance: http://peoplespoweralliance.com This is intended to be a political lobbying organization for the purpose of...
Are you guys pretty serious about implementing FA-DP in government, or do you have higher priorities (e.g. range voting, asset voting) that are going to crowd...
- Good point. I'm swamped with multiple concerns and projects now, but I do support FA/DP in those where it makes sense. And I appreciate your various ancap...
I think we should come up with some educational materials, similar to what FairVote has done. I was trying to come up with some scenarios I could use to...
Does anyone out there have any artistic skills? I would like to put together a Flash animation to illustrate how delegable proxy works. Here is a sample script...
