Making Government Suck Less

Darrell IssaEditor's note:U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa has represented Californias 49th CongressionalDistrict in the House of Representatives since 2001. Follow him on Twitter@DarrellIssa.On June 11, 2012, I went all in on open. That day, I traveled to the Personal Democracy Forum (PDF) in New York City to launch the OpenGov Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to developing and deploying technology solutions to help people participate in their governments. But a tool is only as good as the problem it solves, and we face a massive problem. SOPA is only a symptom. Government doesnt understand the Internet, how it works and the awesome power its networked users wield to disrupt almost anything - especially politics itself.
