Govit.com - It's All About the Politics

T’is the season to be political. If we are to believe Aristotle and man is indeed by nature a political animal, then, he ought to be more proactive, no? The current state of affairs has the nation entranced in Presidential politics while the nitty gritty legislative play gets ignored. Join Govit to start exercising your democratic right. Govit is the ideal place for the everyday Joe to get engaged and informed about what’s going on at the Hill. It gives you a chance to see how your representative is doing; it reveals his or her past voting record while letting you have your say about congressional members. On Govit, you can actually vote for legislation and share your voting record with the Govit community. Govit follows the social web trend and includes a bit of social networking in its framework. You create a profile, vote on things like the safe deployment of troops from Iraq or the assault weapons ban, then compare your vote to everyone else, namely friends and family. Even politicians have profiles and bios for comparison.

“The best way to take part in our Democracy is to be informed, organize, and work direct wit your elected representatives.



Govit makes it easy...You can learn about legislation, and discuss it with others. You can vote on the legislation, as if you were an elected official. You can have your vote sent instantly to your government representatives.



Govit is a non-partisan platform, and is not associated with the government, interest groups, or any corporations.”

Govit is a great resource to become more knowledgeable about what the government is doing through participation. Legislation is left to representatives so the average citizen feels disconnected. This way everybody can have their say.

Will people care? Can Govit get enough people to use it to make it relevant? If so, will the politicians pay attention?
