THE NEED: the root of most problems in the world can be traced back to our generally accepted corporate structure, which is designed to generate profit for it's owners-- at any cost. It's an efficient and soulless machine that can easily be directed to create suffering for the sake of profit.

The generally accepted non-profit model is nowhere near as efficient-- but equally deficient in it's natural tendency to encourage directors to put the expansion and retention of their own personal power, before the goals and good of the organization.

PARTNERS WANTED: Voters.com presents a new model for organizing people for profit. As an LLC all directors are owners. Deployed as a web application, true democracy and accountability provide provide a nimble and fun environment where new members can very quickly become Directors. And Directors who do not perform, quickly fall back into the general population.

Look for innovative features such as:

ELECTED OFFICIALS: Frequent elections, where a President, CPA, and System Admin, oversee the infrastructure. Three or four vice presidents, as Directors, for each District  are elected and retired by a common vote. It's a two step process: you vote OUT the worst Director, (leaving at least two), then, you vote IN a new Director bringing the total Director count, back to three or four.

GRANULARITY: committees and districts that find themselves with similar objectives, can merge, taking the name of either sub-domain, to form a larger and more powerful entity. OR-- dissimilar factions within any committee or District can split apart, to form a new sub-domain under a newly elected Director.

AUDIT TRAIL: Public and private votes can be changed any time before the close date. After the close date, any individuals may view their own vote AND the totals for all committees and districts. If a recount is requested members receive an email confirming their voting record.
 
DEMOCRATIC ACTION COMMITTEES: Monthly dues is paid into one or more current projects, based on each members involvement and discretion through the voting process. Members not only fund projects they believe in, they participate in the discussion and decision about how their money is spent!

FINANCING: If necessary, I am willing to sell the domain voters.com to make this happen. Estimated value of voters.com domain: 350k. Or, District sub-domains could be sold for $500 to $2000 each. I'm also open to other options.

DEPLOYMENET PLATFORM: Ruby on Rails. As an example, Yellowpages.com is the 33rd largest website in the US handling 2.5 million searches per day. Yellowpages.com is deployed in only 20k, of Ruby on Rails code, compared to the the previous 125k of Java code. The new site is faster, more reliable, and much easier to maintain. Ruby on Rails is know as Agile Web Development because web applications can be built at 1/10 the time-- which lowers development cost and time considerably.
