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. The funding of the site comes from Dick Scruggs and Steve Bozeman.
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.
ARE ALL THE QUESTIONS POLITICAL?
No way. We will get your opinions on who should be in the Hall of Fame and e-mail it to the sportswriter's committee. We'll ask you who should win the Oscars and e-mail the results to the group that makes the decision.
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 THE BOOK, VOTE.COM?
It's a book Dick Morris wrote about how the Internet is taking over politics. It can be purchased in bookstores and on the Vote.com site. It says that the Internet is taking the place of television in politics, that money will matter less and less because the Internet is free, and that special interests are losing their grip over Congress.
WHO ARE DICK MORRIS AND EILEEN McGANN?
Dick Morris, the President of Vote.com, was President Clinton's chief strategist and advisor in the 1996 campaign. He has handled the campaigns of a large number of American politicians including Trent Lott, William Weld, Pete Wilson and a whole lot of others. He's now a commentator on the Fox News Channel and writes a weekly column in the New York Post. He has written four recent books: Behind the Oval Office, The New Prince, Vote.com and Power Plays.
Eileen McGann is an attorney and former public interest lobbyist. She serves as the CEO of Vote.com.
