Do you STAND for America? If so, how many others do you think are STANDING with you? It’s been impossible to know—until now. Push Stand is a simple yet powerful app, created to give Americans complete visibility. Visibility into how many are STANDING each day, and what they have to say. Think of Push Stand as a megaphone for the average American. Just like a tree falling in the forest, an American STANDING alone might go unheard. But with Push Stand, every STAND counts, amplifying into an unstoppable movement. Our mission is to share the true, unbiased picture of how many Americans are standing, and what they’re saying. Think of it as political polling with a purpose. [What to expect - Push Stand] Every day, the first screen that appears prompts you to Push the STAND button. On that same screen, you will also see how many Americans have already pushed STAND for the day. Once you Push STAND, the daily number will increase and you will have officially stood for your country with numerous other Americans. [What to expect - Home Screen Stats] On the Home Screen, you'll see some very important stats:   1) Americans Standing Today : will display the most recent number of how many Americans have chosen to STAND for their country today. 2) Yesterday : will display how many Americans chose to STAND for their country yesterday. 3) Daily Goal : will display a number that "We" are collectively trying to achieve for the day. Once the circular progress bar is filled, it'll signify that we have reached our daily goal. 4) My Stand Streak : will display how many days in a row you chose to STAND. 5) My Total Stands : will display how days you chose to STAND since you first joined. 6) USA Total Stands : will display the total USA number of STANDS that have occurred since the beginning of Push Stand. [What to expect - Daily Question] Every day, there will be a new daily question. This question will be a hot topic that is being debated throughout the country. This is your chance to voice your opinion. Once you answer the daily question, you'll be able to see how STANDING Americans voted on Yesterday's Daily Question. This gives greater visibility into what STANDING Americans truly want for their country. Not what politicians want. Not what big corporations want. Not what news outlets want. What STANDING Americans want. [What to expect - Reminder Time] Upon creating an account, you will be prompted to select a Reminder Time to STAND. This Reminder will help to add STANDING for your country into your daily routine seamlessly. Why every day? Because this isn’t a one time deal. Whether it's a relationship with your loved ones or your country - if you want it to succeed, you have to put in the work every single day.
