About Us

Societism.org promotes the well being of the group without sacrificing the significance of the individual.

Individual freedoms are not free - and the responsibility to limit government and other self-interest groups from excess liberties has been neglected. Societism allows individuals working collectively to maintain a higher level of influence, to keep these extremes in balance. The result being a higher level of personal liberty and a prolonged harmonic society.

Our mission is to help empower each of us to regain influence over those in charge, thus restoring the opportunity to make the right choices for ourselves.

Whether you are interested in an accountable government or responsive consumer advocacy, have your voice better heard by visiting our topics and videos, and spreading the word.

Become a member, donate today and help make positive changes in our society.

After preparing and drafting a comprehensive piece of legislation, the Sunlight Foundation decided that public input and scrutiny would refine the bill and improve its chances of garnering lawmakers' support. Rather than immediately looking for legislators who might sponsor the bill, Sunlight, therefore, created PublicMarkup.org as a place to post the bill, and to allow you to comment on and suggest edits to the substance of the legislation.  In most cases, A PDF of the revised bill is available, as well as the original version.

This project is not intended to be the ultimate technical solution to the challenge of drafting legislation online, but an experiment in online collaboration. By collecting legislation, summaries, resources and commentary in a single linkable location, PublicMarkup.org provides a simple, blog-like framework for soliciting feedback on this legislation.

In addition to drawing on bills that have already been introduced, several provisions of the Transparency in Government Act of 2008 are the result of the collaborative work of the Open House Project.

Citizens like yourself can access these early pieces of proposed legislation and actually contribute their comments and suggestions. Check them out! publicmarkup.org.
