FYI...just another easy way to write to your Congress Member, asking them to not sign on as a Cosponsor to PUPS, 2011 or if already there, to withdraw the sponsorship. Storm From: "GovTrack.us" <operations@xxxxxxxxxxx Date: June 7, 2011 10:57:20 AM PDT Subject: Introducing POPVOX, from the creator of GovTrack.us Dear GovTrack user: I?m excited to personally introduce you to GovTrack?s new sister site, POPVOX, atwww.popvox.com, where you can write letters to Congress and see what others are saying. Here's what POPVOX does: Your letters to Congress are delivered and verified. POPVOX delivers constituent messages to appropriate Congressional offices as well as posts them publicly to the site to extend their influence. Our sign-up process is designed to help you write the most effective letter, based on our experience on Capitol Hill. You'll even receive a confirmation when your message is delivered to a Congressional office. What people are saying on bills in Congress. POPVOX?s public, nonpartisan platform for legislation overlays individuals? comments on pending bills, legislative positions taken by organizations/trade groups, and statements offered by Congress and the Administration?on top of the same basic bill information you trust from GovTrack. POPVOX puts meat on a bill?s bones. Direct access to sentiment in your district. Reports on constituent sentiment enable Congress, organizations and the media to gauge how people perceive issues through real-life stories. Bill reports with bottom-line data. POPVOX?s Bill Report provides proof positive of constituent sentiment on specific bills. And with a cumulative line graph of support vs. opposition over time, it?s also a great way to assess trends. Widgets and advocacy tools for organizations. Embed customized advocacy tools onto your own websites, including a Comment Stream and Write Congress tool. Organizations can design their own legislative campaign landing page (with a custom short URL) and direct people to act on specific bills. I hope you will try out POPVOX and share it with your friends, family and community. To see what POPVOX users are weighing in on in real-time, visit www.popvox.com/bills.
