<br />1.Government must listen to people and empower them <br /> <br />2.Good ideas change lives <br /> <br />3.The Government’s money is the people’s money; and <br /> <br />4.Government and its elected representatives must be accountable to the <br />people they serve. <br /> <br />This “Movement” and the people who believe in it will renew and preserve the Promise of <br />Florida, it said. The Plan is to listen to the people’s concerns and their ideas for addressing them in <br />order to renew the “Promise of Florida”. Ideas from Florida residents would be compiled into a <br />book called “100 Innovative Ideas for Florida’s Future”. Although the ideas for this Plan would <br />come from the people Government would be responsible for the end result. People could convene <br />at “Idearaisers” sessions where lawmakers would listen or they could log on to www.100ideas.org <br />website and submit their ideas or review and comment on the ideas of others and participate in live <br />chat on specific issues with their Representatives. <br /> <br />Chairman Neuberger was impressed with what he saw on the video. He asked State <br />Representative Poppell if the book had been published. <br /> <br />State Representative Ralph Poppell <br /> showed an empty book. The plan is to gather <br />the ideas of Florida residents over time to fill the book, he said. He reiterated his support for the <br />book thinking it’s a great idea. They are holding themselves to it in the Legislature, he said. <br /> <br />Chairman Neuberger asked what was the timetable for getting the book filled. <br /> <br />Representative Poppell <br /> had no timeline for the completion of the book. It is a <br />growing process, he said <br /> <br />July 21, 2006/special call <br />3 <br /> <br />
