There is a problem with politics, it isn’t scaling right.  For too long, the bureaucracy in this country has vastly outgrown the voting public’s ability to watch or understand what is going on in the halls of Congress.  And it’s not just on Capitol Hill, it’s at city hall, in county offices, on school boards, everywhere people with ‘power’ congregate to decide how to govern US.  But one Silicon Valley start-up wants to change that with old fashioned American ingenuity.  Quietly swelling Brigade Media would like to scale up the ability for average Americans understanding of who our politicians really are, using technology to fill in the gaps, and let’s hope they succeed.
