Govit is a great resource to become more knowledgeable about what the government is doing through participation. Legislation is left to representatives so the average citizen feels disconnected. This way everybody can have their say.
Will people care? Can Govit get enough people to use it to make it relevant? If so, will the politicians pay attention?
