501c3 Free Election Campaign Platform for Local Candidates

OurSociety is a 501c3 non-profit based in NJ that developed a free campaign platform (beta) for local candidates. As a non-technical founder, I relied on outsourced development work and a team of volunteers to help drive efforts.

    We made a site to crowd fund lobbying.2012 · ▲50

    Hey guys, So we made this site with the goal of funding a lobbyist to represent the 99%. The money comes from small pledges of $5 and up. So far we've raised nearly $10k in under a week. We're focusing fund raising efforts on causes. I'm the founder and lead developer, and I'd love to hear this community's thoughts on the project as well as answer any questions. Thanks guys! http://www.wethelobby.com/

I wanted to share that any startup anywhere can have exciting wins like this... regardless of whether you're in SV, went to MIT, or whatever. Just make something people want, and it'll work out. In 2014, start the thing you've been…
