This summer, Personal Democracy Forum will be publishing an anthology of writers from top technologists, politicos, and pop culture figures responding to the following question:

When the Framers met in Philadelphia in 1787, they bravely conjured a new form of self-government. But they couldn't have imagined a mass society with instantaneous, many-to-many communications or many of the other innovations of modernity. So, replacing that quill pen with a mouse, imagine that you have to power to redesign American democracy for the Internet Age. What would you do?

We're inviting the public to submit their own responses as well; we'll choose three essays to be included in the anthology.

Good luck!
