Votetocracy.com - Have Your Say In Government Issues

Votetocracy is a new online resource that enables US citizens to see the bills which are currently in Congress, vote on the same, and then send the votes to their elected representatives. That is, the site lets citizens not only learn about what is happening in Congress but also act on that information by simply clicking on a button, and then measuring the results.

It happens in every country – the laws that are created by legislative institutions are often written in straitlaced language that does not reflect the way people feel at all. A system like this one will hopefully empower people to have a more active role, and the government of the country as a whole turn into a truly democratic process.

This site was created by three Americans who felt that it was time for regular citizens to become engaged in the political direction that the country should head to. Do not hesitate to pay it a visit and see in which ways you can help shape the future of America.

“Votetocracy is a place where every citizen can see every bill currently in congress, vote on those bills and send those votes to thier representatives. The site has been 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 dicided that there had to be a better way and Votetocracy is the the result of our efforts.”

It makes democracy become truly that, as it gives everybody an opportunity to make himself be heard by his representatives.

What impact can a site such as this one truly have?
