* [[User:Woozle/United Members of Civilization|United Members of Civilization]]: an unfinished essay outlining the concept, but started before I came up with the term "citizen government". Has some links at the end which should probably be moved here.
 
* [[backup government]] is an earlier incarnation of this idea, and its contents should probably be renamed and consolidated.
 
* [[Talk:2007-05-31 Repudiation, Not Impeachment]]: We need a way to collectively repudiate actions of the government, so that we can't be "divided and conquered" (individually rounded up as traitors for dissenting, without widespread knowledge that this has happened)
