The Vision

ElectionU is a social network that also strives to provide the American public with links to their politicians and the issues that matter to them. In 2006 two young Americans became frustrated with how political campaigns in the U.S. were run. They found it difficult to discover what each person really stood for and researching each candidate and issue became cumbersome. They also noticed many young adults, ages 18-30, were not turning out to vote at the polls in the numbers they should be. So the creators developed ElectionU to change the face of American politics and make it easier for the average American to educate themselves on who is running, what each politician stands for, what the issues are, and get involved in the political process. ElectionU also hopes to spark free open debates about political issues that are shaping our nation today and create a free resource for politicians to use and manage their campaigns to cut down on the increasing costs they incur while running for office.

Voters across the United States have to search out what issues are on the ballot, what positions are up for election, and who is running for what office, as well as what each candidate stands for. TV ads and debates often turn into mudslinging and leave voters confused on the candidate.s true platform. ElectionU has set out to change this by giving voters one website with all the information they could need. Simply by clicking on their state and soon their voting district, voters will be able to find out everything and everyone they could vote for in the next election. Then with a quick click of the mouse will be linked to each candidate.s or issue.s ElectionU page, everything easily accessible in one spot to create an informed electorate. ElectionU also offers ElectionU News, balanced views of stories and news feeds collected from sources on both sides of the political spectrum. It offers a free public forum for debates, links to voter registration, and ways to contact your politicians.

With you joining our web site and becoming part of our network you are helping change American politics. We hope to eventually have every politician running for office or holding office; every state, city, and township; every party; every PAC; and every citizen a member of ElectionU. Your voice! Your choice! Your country! Be a part of building a better tomorrow today!

Politicians, Governments, & Organizations

ElectionU is a free resource for your campaign. It.s a free website where your future constituents can find out what you really stand for. It cuts out the guesswork for voters. ElectionU will eventually break down what each voter will have on their ballot, all the way down to the school board and township levels, so every voter knows exactly who and what will be on the ballot they fill out. But before this can happen we need politicians, state and local governments, and organizations to sign-up and manage their ElectionU web pages.

ElectionU allows you to interact with citizens following your campaign and get in touch with a new generation of voter. The MySpace generation, the younger adults who have grown up with the internet and rely on it heavily for all of their news needs and communications. ElectionU allows you to send messages to citizens in your network or any member of ElectionU, host debates, post videos from your campaign, and explain tough issues. This will allow a centralized arena for you to get in touch with more people with little effort. ElectionU so offers a calendar where your constituents can view your upcoming events and show their support and a blog section where you can react to news stories, developing issues, post your thoughts on how a debate went, or just express what you will or have done in office. Also, politicians will be featured on the home page of ElectionU, giving you a free advertisement to every person who checks out ElectionU.

Eventually we hope to have the site running so well that you can run your entire campaign from this site alone. It would allow you to free up a large portion of your budget and put those funds towards other needs in your campaign. Lowering campaign costs creates an even playing field for all politicians at all levels. Be a part of this dream today!
