WHAT IS VOTE.COM?
Vote.com is a fully interactive web site designed to give Internet users a voice on important public issues and other topics. The Internet is filled with chances for us to listen and read. This site gives us a chance to speak out and to be heard. When you vote on a topic listed on our site, we'll send an e-mail to significant decision-makers like your congressional representative, your senators, and the president telling them how you feel.
WHO IS BEHIND VOTE.COM?
Dick Morris and Eileen McGann.
WHY DID THEY SET IT UP?
Morris' entire career has been in polling -- finding out what voters think. He and McGann want voters to have a way to speak out. Morris says, "I trust the voters a whole lot more than the politicians. I guess I know the politicians too well."
IS IT FREE?
Absolutely.
IS IT LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE?
Neither. It's a ballot box. And it's not Democrat or Republican either. It has no point of view. It wants to bring your point of view to the attention of those in power.
IS MY VOTE SECRET?
You bet. The computer knows how you vote, but we don't. Your vote is encrypted so that even the staff people at Vote.com cannot access that information.
WILL I GET A LOT OF SPAM MAIL?
Nope. We will tell you about referenda you might find interesting (based on the ones you have already voted in). And, if you tell us, we won't send you anything.
HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU EXPECT TO PARTICIPATE?
Over 1.7 million people have already registered to make their vote count at Vote.com. Hopefully, millions more will also want to vote. It will give us all a chance to be heard so our voice gets loud enough to drown out the special interests that run Congress.
WHAT IS DICK MORRIS' LATEST BOOK?
