Community Counts - Virtual Townhall

Find a Politician

Welcome to Community Counts' Virtual Town Hall, an official forum where politicians HAVE agreed to answer questions chosen by your votes. First in line, California Congressman George Miller.

On July 2, 2007, we argued in a posting at techPresident that three things needed to happen before the Web could truly transform American politics:

The development of independent nonpartisan filters that aggregate public opinion in real time.
The use of these tools by voters at large. A click or two now means a better look at our politicians and a clearer choice come election day. Plus, if enough of us participate, we leverage the wisdom of crowds and cancel out the crackpots.
The commitment of politicians to answering America's most valued questions as revealed by these new tools.

Community Counts is an attempt to address the first point, and only a few days after sharing our "wish list," Congressman Miller is stepping up to address the third, and we need you to help us with that second one.

Find your House Representative and Senators' contact info. Then share how you'd like to see them join the Virtual Town Hall at http://www.communitycounts.us.

Eventually, this page will allow you to search for politicians, and with any luck, it will include more than national legislators. However, right now, you'll find two lists (below). Please, help us fill them in.

If you're a politician or staffer, email me at "david at community counts dot us" and we'll set you up with your own page.
