Welcome to ConstituentPolling.org

This website shows voters how they can have a direct voice in government decision-making that was not possible until our 21st century. It proposes a Constituent Polling pledge for lawmakers to inform their constituents of the pros and cons of impending legislation. With this information, and what constituents learn from other sources, they then participate in a poll that tells their lawmaker if they want the legislation to pass, or to vote against it.  

Constituent Polling will clearly show if representatives are voting on laws that will benefit their constituents, or laws that would be against their interests. Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative, Constituent Polling gives all voters an empowering voice in government. It gives them voting power AFTER ELECTIONS. Instead of waiting for the next election to hold representatives accountable, Constituent Polling holds them accountable every time they vote on legislation. 

Constituent Polling reveals why we no longer need to let our representatives make decisions that are against our values as liberal or conservative voters. Today, we can have the voting power we have never had before to make decisions for our representatives to follow, instead of them forcing decisions upon us that we don’t want. For example, decisions telling us how much taxes to pay, or how to spend our tax dollars. These decisions, as well as any that affect our financial security, health, safety or civil rights, should involve voting citizens before they are made into laws.

Most importantly, Constituent Polling will virtually put an end to corporate money trying to influence legislation. It will make laws like Citizens United irrelevant. This is because only those living in the lawmakers voting district can influence their voting decisions. Whether they are CEOs, or minimum wage workers, everyone has only one vote to cast for or against legislation. If CEO voters are not happy with any voting decision, they can always use their freedom of speech to protest in the streets.

Nonetheless, Constituent Polling cannot empower voters unless they elect people who actually want to listen and respond to them after they take office. If we want a voice in government, we have to find candidates or incumbents that will accept their roles as public servants that reach out to their constituents before they make decisions for them. If you are politically active, ask your candidates running for office, or those currently in office, to use Constituent Polling. If they ignore your request, there are no reasons to learn why. They simply don’t want you involved in their decisions.

If you want to be directly involved in government decision-making, check out the Constituent Polling pledge and explore other information on this website.
