About Votetocracy
Votetocracy is a place where every citizen can see every bill currently in congress, vote on those bills and send those votes to their representatives. The site was created by three regular citizens that felt it was time to get engaged with American politics. During our efforts to become more educated about our government we discovered that it was not all that easy. We found plenty of information. But it is written in difficult to understand political speak. We also found that it was not particularly easy to act on this information. When we found bills on government websites we had no measurable way to act on it. Sure, you could write a letter or contact our representatives, but had no real way of knowing that it would actually accomplish anything. These things felt like barriers. It was then that we decided that there had to be a better way and Votetocracy is the the result of our efforts.
The site has the tools necessary for any citizen to find out what congress is working on. More importantly however is the ability to act on that information. We have created the site so that citizens can vote on the same bills as congress, send their vote to their representatives with the click of the button.
We feel there are three major areas that we can help citizens.
- Access to information
- Education about that information
- And to provide the ability to act on that information and measure the results
What would happen if millions of people voted no and Congress voted yes?
Imagine 10s of millions citizens voting on various bills, equaling 100's of millions of votes. What would happen if a Senator's constituents voted no and he or she voted yes? Would this event influence the Senator's future behavior? Would it make them give second thought to the policies they support if they knew a clear public display of their opposition will be available? We believe it would.
Neutrality
When introducing Votetocracy one of the first questions asked is: Are you neutral? How do I know your not swaying the votes? The answer is always the same, trust - at least for now. Our viewpoints are irrelevant. We maintain complete neutrality by letting voters speak for themselves. When the site reaches millions of users we will conduct audits by third parties.
Funding and Investors
The site is currently self-funded. We pay for the development out of our own pockets. In order to grow the site and provide all of the features and information needed to fulfill our goals we will pursue a profitable business. In the future we plan to develop subscription services for organizations that are interested in rallying voters around specific issues. The site will remain free for voters. At this time we are looking for investors and welcome you to contact us using the information below.
