Currently in the last day I have followed DPD Contest. My revolution of 2012 that I hope I will win the competition. I got my idea to post in this blog because this blog can get many traffic. This is my article if I were a member of DPD (Seandainya saya menjadi anggota DPD RI)

If I become a Member of the DPD I would aspire to all the people's mandate entrusted to me. This becomes very important thing I would do if I become a Member of the DPD to remember all this the people of Indonesia are now already disappointed with the attitude and behavior of the members of the DPD.

If I were a member of DPD RI, I will make a public trust to the members of the DPD to improve morale is good and should seek honesty and eradicate all corrupt practices in carrying out the mandate and run the function is the responsibility of the DPD and will be a key point in improving dignity and dignity of members of the DPD which started already lost confidence in the hearts of the people of Indonesia.

If I become a house of regional representative, I will run the DPD function under consideration. The second thing I would do if I became a member of the board of regional representatives of Indonesia, certainly prior to duty, I will learn tupoksi (basic tasks and functions), so I know what I'll do it later if it becomes a member of the DPD.

If I become a Member of the DPD, I will carefully examine the draft legislation that will be included and discussed in a meeting with members of the House of Representatives. Why is this I think is important? Because right now there are some laws issued by Parliament it is only later polemical (one example UU ITE).

If I become a Member of the DPD, I will examine carefully any proposed expansion areas even division of a region. This is consistent with the legislative function under the authority of the DPD. I think this is important because in order to conduct an assessment of the results disuatu expansion area, it is not impossible that area can not afford / do not have the ability to stand alone and just hoping for help from the center (DAK, Co) to be returned to the district / city / province earlier . If indeed the ability of the area why not allow the division to be approved to do / not in combination again?
Following the results of audits conducted CPC countries. Today our nation known for its corrupt nest DPD therefore the authority to oversee every state financial examination conducted CPC should be done with the best tie so that the perpetrators can get rewarded in kind and state finances could be saved.
Closer to the community. Many of the polemic that occurred in the area that can not be addressed properly by the deputies. How representative prior rakyata DPD can find out what is felt by the constituents represented if the deputies were not close to people and just more often located in the capital?

If I become a Member of the DPD, I will make savings by utilizing the technology budget. Budget savings is the official travel savings by utilizing information technology is rapidly increasing. As in write in writing "Seandainya saya menjadi anggota DPD RI"

Seandainya Saya menjadi Anggota DPD RI (If I were a senator Indonesian Republic)

Today, the performance of regional representatives council has got attention. They are considered not able to fight for the aspirations are entrusted to him. The voices-from time to time, indicating a more massive discontent. If it has reached the nadir, it is feared the occurrence of an "explosion" of distrust that have an effect on the collapse of the country. Look for example, the desire "dissolution" of state institutions that have more than enough to be a warning that must be taken seriously. If you have this, how it should be representative of the people?

The emergence of new social cleavage

The growth of social media-blogs, facebook, twitter, etc.-a startling new phenomenon. It is driven by information technology infrastructure-from upstream to downstream, which grew rapidly in almost all corners of Indonesia. Not surprisingly, Indonesia is the second largest facebook user, and country with the most active twitter users in the world.

Conditions that encourage the emergence of virtual communities are more organized and have a role. Through social media that are connected to one another, they are all out to channel their aspirations. See, eg, lizard-crocodile cases and case-Omni Prita to encourage social movements in the streets.

Various communities, then, have come into being new social hemisphere, which is composed of individuals with characteristics: young, educated, independent, and control information. They are capable of producing revolutionary ideas that impact on every public decision-making process. They serve as a driving force and the conveyor of information, by, and for society.

In the political context, this situation gives two effects at once: first, the widespread public oversight over major decisions of the state; second, the role of government mengerutnya unnecessary. This proves that the more visible public participation in various aspects. This condition will reinforce refresentasi functions that begin to fail, due to political deals and coalition interests of certain individuals and groups.

Strengthening the role of the Regional Representative Council (DPD)

DPD fundamental weakness lies in the limited authority in the legislation, so that the aspirations in the area are not able to be executed to the fullest. No matter how the DPD has been trying to pass a particular bill that became the desire, ultimately, nothing more than "junk" that was no use.

If I become a member of the DPD (Seandainya saya menjadi anggota DPD), so that became my focus is to strengthen the role of the DPD even with the limited authority. Thus, there was a mechanism of checks and balances are balanced and the realization of functions refresentasi serious. The trick is to involve (the maximum) the community's role in any decision-making.

Involving the use of advances in information technology, which empowers the new social forces as part of support groups and pressure, which, together, provide oversight of the political process of decision making. I imagine-especially in-awakened my Dapil information centers to level villages / village, which is driven by a young activist-educated, who will continue to provide feed back on work in the DPD.

It was here, in my opinion, the initial momentum of the open and realize the ideals of participatory development, where people are driven by new social hemisphere play an active role. Any material, views, until the decision-making in the DPD will be characterized predominantly by the aspirations of the people in the area. Which, of course, by harnessing the power of new social-hemisphere will produce maximum support in any political process in the House. So, even with limited authority, but with massive public support, will occur DPD meaningful political role.

So what will you do if  you're a senator (Seandainya saya menjadi Anggota DPD RI)
