Governing Via SMS
It well knows the capacity of sms to call people. It already remained proved with the mobilizations of March 11th and more recently with the demonstration supporting the marriages of gay and lesbian.
There are many political organizations that use sms to communicate with its partisans and day by day there are more public administrations that use messaging in order to establish new channels of communications with its administered.
And the governments what? These also start to use this way as we can see in Indonesia, where the president uses the sms to send messages to specific groups or to receive complaints from his citizens. You can read about it in the article "Governing via text messaging" published in "Jakarta Post" Quite good, isn't it? Here you have a sample of the messages that the president of Indonesia sends:
Civil Servants: STOP MEETING. Stop lengthy and pointless meetings now. Let us have an efficient public service that actually serves the public.
Illegal DVD vendors at Ratu Plaza: STOP PIRACY. Stop selling pirated DVDs. Let us have a nation where the expatriates do not know where to buy illegal DVDs.
Public transportation drivers: STOP STOPPING. Just stop stopping in the middle of the road. Let us have a nation where public transportation vehicles actually stop where they are supposed to -- by the side of the road.
Tax Department: STOP SHAKING DOWN TAXPAYERS. Stop finding gray areas of the law with which to extort honest taxpayers. Let us collect some tax from the tax avoiders instead.
Customs and other law-enforcement agencies: STOP TAKING BRIBES. Stop taking bribes this very minute. Let us, for a change, be protected by you guys rather than be a victim of your rapacity.
Traffic police: STOP STOPPING. Stop stopping cars for minor infringements so you can ask for bribes. Let us have instead a nation of smooth traffic because of the strict enforcement of road laws.
Politicians: STOP NATO. Stop preening and grandstanding now. Let us have a House where its members represent the interests of the electorate rather than their egos and wallets.
