When we get upset a Congress for selling us out, what can we do?
Sign a petition? Ignored
Send an email? Ignored
Send a letter? Ignored
Call? Ignored
Why is this?
Representatives know that you only have so much time and so much anger, and they will not be up for re-election for YEARS. So, they can safely ignore you, right up until the election season, counting on the fact that you are busy and will forget.
VoteDown is changing this dynamic. By taking in contributions *against* a representative, at any time in their term, they know they can't ignore you. The outrage may fade, but the money against them will last forever and kill their chances of re-election.
