An introduction to Direct-Input Democracy
America’s Pulse is introducing Americans to a new way to participate in government – one built for the world we actually live in.
Using a simple interface, we call MyGov, citizens will be able to communicate directly with the people who represent them and clearly specify the domestic issues they expect to be addressed to earn re‑election.
Paired with our state‑by‑state Report Card, which tracks performance across 50 measures of American life, this creates something unprecedented in our history: a direct, visible connection between how you vote and the results your representatives deliver.
That’s accountability.
It’s been 250 years in the making
We’ve always had the vote. But in today’s complex, fast‑moving world, a single ballot every few years is no longer enough.
When our country was founded, communication traveled by horse and ship. Today, we carry instant communication in our pockets. Direct‑input democracy uses the tools we already rely on every day to give citizens a louder, clearer, more specific voice.
When millions of individual priorities are organized into shared signals, something new emerges: a citizen‑driven agenda focused on the common good.
There is such a thing as the common good
With America’s Pulse, every citizen selects their priorities using the same 50 objective measures.
As neighbors participate, and as those choices aggregate across precincts, cities, counties, states – and ultimately the nation – the common good becomes visible at every level of government.
Not imposed from the top down. Defined from the ground up.
America’s Pulse is real-time citizenship that makes your voice count.
It is designed to disrupt business‑as‑usual democracy – using social technology to organize citizen priorities and leverage the true capital we all possess: our vote.
