WHY WE NEED OUR VOICE OUR COUNTRY
The tools we have to influence national policy makers are weak and ineffective:
- Polls - easily manipulated or misinterpreted
- Letters to the editor - reach a small audience, inclusion limited
- Talk radio - forces one to be a "yes" person to the host, or face a gauntlet of abuse
- Calling representatives - yes/no for legislation, no exchange of ideas
- Peaceful protest - risk assault and arrest, media blackout
- Ballot initiatives - mostly created through closed process, by political interest groups, sometimes with ulterior motives
- Voting - often for disappointing choices of candidates, who drift far from campaign promises and The People once in office
Our Voice Our Country provides a powerful new path for democracy, bridging the void between The People and our representatives. Recommended Topics, ProblemSolver Solutions and ratings by users in every State provide those we elect with new ideas and clear guidance on Americans' priority issues and achievable solutions.
