Former Democratic Party advisor Naomi Wolf is part of a new organization called the Five Freedoms Movement which is dedicated to protecting American rights and values. I find it interesting that there is a growing number of stanch demarcates that are willing to break party lines, like Tulsi Gabbard, to stand up against attempts to limit and restrict our freedoms.
Here is some content from the Daily Clout website:
Our mission is to empower all people with information, facts and opinion from all viewpoints, that when combined with DailyClout’s proprietary platform, enables them to be well informed and to exercise their rights to directly weigh-in on issues and legislation so that their voices are heard at the local, state or federal level.Here is a letter from Naomi Wolf:
We are a company that builds digital tools, and produces media to help anyone, from any walk of life, use and affect democracy more powerfully.
What drew me to help start this company?
I wrote two books about how hard it was to engage with democracy in America—and people of every background said to me: “We agree. But practically, what can we do?”
One thing that jumped out as I researched, and that I had seen as a political consultant, was that legislation was being passed in near-darkness—bills were hard to find, impossible to understand, and just a few folks, mainly lobbyists, crafted them. But still, they affected everyone. A clause in a sentence could bestow help and hope on millions, or else take it away.
This opacity seemed very wrong to me. That was not what our Founders intended.
The solution would involve the internet—we needed to build ways for ordinary people to see real bills change in real time, to comment on them, and to raise their voices in public more effectively than just sending an email or signing a petition. Our first such tool is BillCam, which lets you see, share and affect live legislation. It has been searched 200,000 times in just a few months. More tools are on the way.
So welcome to the DailyClout community. Share with us your ideas, your content and your passion. Tell your friends to join us. And tweet, post, comment, and share, your democracy. DailyClout’s tools let you, whomever you are, lead this nation—which, in America, is just exactly your job.
Warmly,
Naomi
