Not that many would read or participate in the site but.....  You can bet it would get quoted and used in the campaigns.

I think that politicians that refused to answer should be not allowed to run.

Well, the politician who did not participate would shoot themselves in the foot.  It would be thier own constituents asking the questions.  And would you vote for someone if they just ignored you?

Basically, allow voters a place to pose questions back to the politicians.  Each time you want to ask a question, the current list of questions would be presented.  If the question you wanted answered was there, you just clicked on it.
If there is an answer from the politician, it would present itself.  If no answer is available, it would tally the number of people wanting an answer to that question.

In order for it to work you have to make dang sure the site is neutral. It's not about partisanship. It is about allowing people a chance to make a difference.

Yes, that's it.  This has nothing to do with political affiliation, only the proper functionality of the political apparatus.
What I meant is that people need to get plucked out of the usual apathy and lack of relation to the political system.

I don't know much about IT security, but that needs to be totally foolproof.
If anyone starts to funk with the system we'd put in place, there needs to be a sure way that it's repairable and keeps fingerprints.

Skuzzy, have you set a timeline for all this, yet?
