Our Vision of Our Product

I think it is important that we make clear what specifically we are trying to create. This thread can help us put our ideas in writing in order to keep us on task and focused.

I envision us creating a website in which the political activity of politicians from the House and Senate are tracked. Members are able to comment on the actions of any politician, but the site will be tailored to provide each user with a more focused look at what specifically representatives from their area are doing.

By creating this service, we create an incentive for politicians to be involved on our site, answering questions and justifying positions. I think we should start with the districts in California and expand from there. If only one representative begins to work with us, there will be incentive for their rivals, and their rivals to begin to work with us as well. Our site has the potential to become a useful tool in any politicians battlechest because it allows them an open forum to connect with their constituency regardless of power, connections, etc.

This will work towards our grass roots movement because it will keep the politicians of every district more loyal to the concerns of their districts, their voters, versus party affiliations etc.

If done well, I think that our service has a sucessfull plan to foster growth and expansion along with providing any American detailed information of the political moves of their leaders. Although if one is an active political blogger, spending hours in front of their computer researching their politicians, this information can be comprehended, all of this focused, important information is not available under one roof with a friendly user interface. I think we could provide that.
