You should help PeopleCount.org bring political accountability to democracy.

A new Pew poll found: “just 19% say they can trust the government always or most of the time… Only 20% would describe government programs as being well-run. And elected officials are held in such low regard that 55% of the public says “ordinary Americans” would do a better job of solving national problems.”

Adlai E Stevenson said: “Public confidence in the integrity of the Government is indispensable to faith in democracy; and when we lose faith in the system, we have lost faith in everything we fight and spend for.”

The same Pew poll found that more than half of Americans see the federal government as having a major roll in 10 of 13 areas. That’s more than half of Republicans as well as more than half of Democrats!

So our government is failing, and we know it. Plus Congress is continually in gridlock, and 6 of 10 voters blame members of both parties.

Buckminster Fuller said, “The things to do are: the things that need doing, that you see need to be done and that no one else seems to see need to be done.”

That sums up why I started PeopleCount.org. We’ve tried every kind of way of fighting to try and get Congress to work together. We’ve even tried some compromise. What we haven’t tried is actually making members of Congress accountable to the people.

Currently, there’s little chance that I can pull a team together and get PeopleCount built. With your help, including some funding, we can.
