About Us

The energy choices our nation makes, and the consequences of those, such as global warming, affect all Americans and our collective future. Elections should be an opportunity for a national discussion about these issues, but as any voter knows, we mostly just get stump speeches and soundbites.

The tools on this website were designed to give voters some help in changing this dynamic. Sending the questionnaire to candidates is the first step. The questionnaire makes the substantive case that important issues are at stake, and that they are relevant to a broad cross-section of Americans.

Candidates don't just drop everything and write answers to questionnaires, though. Voters need to make clear that they want answers, and that's the second step: reminding candidates to respond. You can send reminders by e-mail, or use the event calendar to find upcoming events where a candidate can be reminded in person. You can also add events to the calendar to help others personally engage candidates.

The last step is to look up candidate responses when they come in and see what they say, and share those responses with friends, family and others in your community. We don't edit, paraphrase or otherwise alter what the candidates have to say.
