 | Citizen Initiative Review
The use of citizen deliberative councils to review ballot initiatives before they reach the ballot. Well deliberated, highly publicized citizen judgments would reduce the influence of money and special-interest PR on the initiative process. CIRs are being organized at the state level by Citizens' Jury founder Ned Crosby (healthydemocracy.org) and at the national level by Senator Mike Gravel's National Initiative for Democracy (www.ni4d.org).
