IDEA: Independence, Democracy, Empowerment and Accountability. IDEA is a political action committee that is dedicated to promoting democracy in all levels of our government. Democracy requires active well-informed citizens. IDEA will work to educate and empower citizens to become involved in our political system.

IDEA insists that our representatives vote according to the wish of their constituents, and that our government will provide the quality public education and the free flow of information that are requirements of true democracy.

IDEA will also work on issues where our government is not responsive to the wishes of large sections of our population.

IDEA will produce and promote educational materials for individuals and schools, and will provide speakers for classrooms and events.

IDEA will work with groups that advocate electoral reform, fair voting systems, the creation of new political parties and independent campaigns, public finance of political campaigns, and the abolition of "corporate personhood".

IDEA will work in cooperation with many groups while we focus on Proportional Representation, which we believe to be the most democratic voting system, and one which no other group is presently promoting fully.
