As part of the United States, and not being a city-state in ancient Greece, Madison, WI, tends toward elected positions (indirect democracy).
Also, when I lived in Madison I observed many stickers that told me to vote Feingold, who would then presumably go on to vote on the issues. This is further evidence that Madison favors indirect democracy.

Men such as James Madison felt that only a true democracy would be good for America?
The Founding Fathers were not in favor of direct democracy. In fact, some, like Alexander Hamilton, actually favored something on the lines of a constitutional monarchy. The majority of delegates to the Constitutional Convention favored a form of democracy we know as representative democracy. You will note that the original Constitution provides only the House of Representatives to be elected by the people. The President was chosen by the Electoral College and Senators were appointed by their state legislatures. A representative democracy works better in a large nation. Direct or "true" democracy works well in small nations. An example of direct democracy today might be town meetings held in small towns in New England.
