Real Democracy = Ordinary People Make the Laws

Amend the State Constitution to replace the state Legislature with 100 randomly selected adult residents of the Commonwealth, each serving a one year term, to be called the Commonwealth Jury and to have all the legislative and other powers of the current Legislature. This was on the 2008 ballot in the Somerville district; the local press lied, saying it would abolish state government, and told people to vote NO but 23% voted Yes anyway.
