*WeVoyce*

*Put your money where your heart is!*

Social media and campaign finance are killing us. WeVoyce fixes both in one
app to save our country.

Our ask: Help us get the word out: Anxious, suppressed, frustrated,
voiceless? WeVoyce is for you.

*What is WeVoyce?*

It’s a new kind of media platform that’s been in stealth development for
years.

*What does WeVoyce offer?*

· Gives real people a real voice in the decisions that impact their lives –
it’s more than just politics.

· Provides candidates an independent way to fund their campaigns so that
they answer to the people.

*How is WeVoyce campaign finance reform?*

Engaged millions making thousands of micro donations a year can eclipse all
other forms of campaign finance. Engagement conveys what the people want of
their representatives and compels them to enact their will. This has been
the age-old disconnect in our system putting our union at risk.

*Why can’t Social Media fix itself?*

They just can’t afford to change their business model – it’s about ads and
driving traffic. WeVoyce kills the bots and has no ads. And it requires
people to be real by verifying voter registration while conforms with FEC
campaign finance rules. Social media has a broader purpose like photo
sharing.

*How does WeVoyce work?*

First, people convey their stances to candidates by discussing and voting
on issues. Second, they contribute. There are no free likes. It’s
put-your-money-where-your-heart-is and contribute as little as a penny to a
post, story, proposition and even the profiles of candidates.  It takes
just two taps!

*Is WeVoyce partisan?*

No. WeVoyce is a neutral for-profit media company with a strong sense of
civic duty. We do not editorialize or censor beyond what the phone app
stores prescribe, and what the law allows.

*When is WeVoyce available?*

WeVoyce is already approved by Apple and Google. Download on iPhone and
Android in Oct. 2020.

*Who is backing WeVoyce?*

WeVoyce was developed by technologists who believe technology must be a
force of good. It is led by an Internet pioneer who funded it entirely to
ensure its independence. Like many Michael has been frustrated by the
polarized state of our union, identified the two root causes, and took
action to help.

*About the WeVoyce founder*
