Vote iQ Revolutionizes the Way Citizens and Politicians Communicate

New platform creates an open dialogue between politicians, organizations and voters.

GIG HARBOR, Wash., Aug. 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Vote iQ, America's first major social networking site built for politics, today announced that it is making its platform available for free to all politicians and groups.  Any politician or advocacy group can now set up a free page on Vote iQ, giving them the ability to leverage the amazing power of social media to draw followers and promote their cause.  Vote iQ is already free for voters.

The innovation makes politics more democratic by dramatically lowering the cost of reaching potentially large audiences.  And it helps address one of the key problems besetting politics today:  the absence of trust.  "Vote iQ breaks down the wall of mistrust that has divided voters and their leaders for a generation," says the platform's president and founder James Tisch.  "It's the cure for many of the challenges campaigns and organizations face."

Through Vote iQ, political campaigns for the November 2010 election and beyond can open a two-way dialogue with their constituents. In addition, politicians and advocacy organizations can use Vote iQ to grow their campaign and reach a broader audience. The platform allows users to engage with politicians directly in a setting expressly designed for political debates and action.

Local politicians can particularly benefit from the free campaign presence that Vote iQ offers. They may not be able to afford a thirty-second spot on TV – which can cost tens of thousands of dollars – but they can all afford the price Vote iQ is charging for a presence on its platform.  Everybody can afford free.  The Vote iQ platform allows candidates to communicate directly with their followers, bringing grassroots mobilization into the digital age.  

"Here is the perfect chance to persuade other people to your point of view," says Tisch.  "If you think you have a good argument to make, you can now make it on Vote iQ. You can be persuasive. You can muster support. Now is your chance to start a conversation and convert people to your side."

Vote iQ takes no side in politics.  But that doesn't mean you have to.  Join Vote iQ to network with those who share your views and values.

Campaigns and organizations can access Vote iQ's network of engaged voters by signing up for free on Vote iQ's website at: www.voteiq.com.
