Votesphere vs Poli

Making government work for us starts with self knowledge. When we understand our beliefs then we can tell government what we want. Liberal? Conservative? Moderate? Such labels are inadequate to capture the rich variety of our political beliefs. We want and need solutions to complex problems facing our nation and communities -- rather than the endless tug-of-war between Democrats and Republicans for control of Washington and state capitals. Votesphere is the first political Priority & Preference Engine contained in an easy to use smartphone app. It uses a new paradigm. Think of it as GPS for a complex political world. Votesphere makes it simple for you to fully understand and map your political beliefs and communicate them to your friends, community, and political representatives. Democracy depends on it.
