Re: Georgia’s abortion ban, with pro-choice legislators calling the police presence and tactics “intimidating,” charging that Republican leadership used law enforcement to squelch pushback against the extreme measure. It was the word “shame,” rising above the usual din of the Georgia state capitol, that brought journalists, legal observers, and state troopers to the 3rd floor. HB 481, the ban signed into law by Gov . Brian Kemp (R) and set to take effect in 2020, had just received final passage in the house during the last furious days of the 2019 legislative session. After limited debate time, the measure squeaked through, passing by one more vote than is required. Speaking to journalists, pressing in with cameras, recorders, phones, and notepads, state representatives leading the fight against the near-total abortion ban burned with anger, disgust, betrayal, and sadness.

"Rob Kall has certainly acquired the firsthand experiences and knowledge gained through interviews to deliver some interesting insights about the "bottom-up" information revolution. Whereas the old 'top-down' systems created stove-pipes and excessive secrecy that blocked information sharing and led to the 'failure to connect the dots' before 9-11, the bottom-up approach should be the main fix. Kall's concept would seem to interface equally well with the founding fathers' idealism in setting forth their democratic theory of governance as with the realism that makes the multi-sourced, bottom-up Wikipedia work. As someone who shares my support of both government and corporate whistleblowing -- which is nothing more than encouraging greater horizontal sharing of information, I commend Rob Kall's important work on this topic."
