From Personal Stories to Political Action:

How POPVOX Works

Share Your Voice in a Few Easy Steps!

Why use POPVOX?

Petitions are obsolete. •  There’s power in numbers — but numbers of constituents

who share their own thoughts.

•  Obviously fake “names” on a petition make a mockery of a serious issue – and lawmakers view petitions as little more than spam.  

A verified constituent is hard to ignore.  •  Anyone can write to Congress, but lawmakers only want to hear from constituents,

people who live in their district or state.

•  POPVOX verifies you’re an actual constituent — and guarantees delivery of your message.

Your Voice, Verified

POPVOX asks for: •  Your name •  Home address •  Phone number

So that your Member of Congress is assured that you’re a constituent, making your comment a priority. •  We verify your home address with the US Postal

Service. •  We also send you an email with a one-click

confirmation.

POPVOX only shares your information with Congress. (See our privacy policy at www.popvox.com/privacy).

Your Voice, Quantified The people’s voice is aggregated

so we get “the big picture.”

When you weigh in on a bill, you change the map and the pie charts!
