Say for instance, you are a veteran and read the headline "Don’t make it harder for overseas military to vote". - Stars & Stripes
"Ohio’s tightened window for receiving mailed ballots is likely to affect just several hundred of the thousands of military and overseas ballots received in any election. Critics say any number is too great.“ What kind of society do we call ourselves if we are disenfranchising people from the rights that they are overseas protecting ours?” said Willis Gordon, a Navy veteran and veterans affairs chair of the Ohio NAACP’s executive committee." - News & Record

Politicians behaving badly
A lot of nasty legislation gets passed quietly, and politicians hope you won't notice because you are busy and the details are hard to find. Maps and easy to use data analysis fights their scheme. They make it easy to see what's really going on and how their actions hurt you. Get the facts and hold them accountable for their votes. Do you want to support their donors funding the bad legislation with the money you spend?
Don't be distracted
Some politicians say one thing, but do something completely different. They'll take your tax dollars as their salary, but vote for the interests of their big, dark money donors. These politicians hide their tracks. They know you're busy with little time for research. The truth is out there, but often hard to find because it is scattered across different websites. The TELL THEM app pulls information from different resources together so it's easy to search.
