Dear fellow hackers interested in reforming politics:
I'm working on a project @ http://www.makeyourlaws.org
In short, it aims to gradually replace governments that allow small forms of democracy (e.g. in the US we have a republic with fairly widespread state-and-lower right to citizens' referendum) with liquid democracies, by bootstrapping entirely through existing systems. See the site and G+ page for more detail. As Clay Johnson recently challenged, it aims to disrupt and replace the system rather than just bitch about it. ;-)
I'd like to get it up to speed a bit more quickly than I can do on my own. It'll need a pretty wide array of skillsets, so whatever you do, you can probably help.
Please ping me if you're interested (see saizai.com sidebar for contact info), or comment here and I'll try to address any questions / suggestions you have. Please do read the 5 pages on the site first, as it'll hopefully answer most of the obvious questions (if not, please suggest how to fix it so it does :-P).
