Active people to revitalize what is really the root of democracy: citizens communicating with each other. Democracy is not just about voting, it's about citizens talking with each other about the issues which concern them. We've lost a great deal of that in the age of the mass media.

Democracy is not just voting for your leaders; it's really premised upon ordinary citizens understanding the issues.
