The Political Encyclopedia
A nonpartisan objective
Images may take a moment to load.
You are your guide.
“You Choose” lets any person with access to the internet quickly search candidates to find their voting record, stances, polling numbers, a way to donate, and ways to get involved – all without the need to log in.
Once logged in, the personalization begins. Learning about yourself is as fundamental as learning the political landscape. The goal is for people to be confident and knowledgeable, in a platform that someone of any age can enjoy exploring.
We start with the core infrastructure encyclopedia, and then can move into social tools to help develop a full participatory political system.
Search for Officials
Elected and appointed politicians
Politicians, Donors, Judiciary
Delve into Issues
Find the most distilled grains of truth that we can rely on.
Details, Details, Details
With the tagged system, the rabbit hole goes as far as you’d like to travel.
Purpose.
“You Choose” lets any person with access to the internet quickly search candidates to find their voting record, stances, polling numbers, a way to donate, and ways to get involved – all without the need to log in.
Simplicity.
Our project is Open Source, creating infrastructure for other projects to utilize. Our format is the easiest way to find the answers to life’s biggest queries, and the tagging system shows the connections between.
Empowerment.
This is the natural evolution of technology merging with society. It’s revolutionary in the fact that we need this and we don’t have it yet.

Our Goals.
The primary goal of “You Choose.” is to give a political encyclopedia to the people (starting in the United States).
This platform will be used to complete work outside out our reigns, too. We will be providing the source code for our software’s infrastructure, so that people can manipulate the code and data for their own projects. We would love to see everyone from any career, hobby, and niche to utilize this simple, comfortable design. We want all information to be easily accessible.
We create solutions to:
Public distrust and disinterest in traditional information sources
Difficulty in Access to Nonpartisan, Factual Information
Disinterest in Politics
Difficulty to Engage and Enact Change
Miscommunications at the Dinner Table
