1. From Personal Stories to Political Action:
How POPVOX Works
Share Your Voice in a Few Easy Steps!

2. Why use POPVOX?
A verified constituent is hard to ignore.
• Anyone can write to Congress, but lawmakers only want to hear from constituents,
people who live in their district or state.
• POPVOX verifies you’re an actual constituent — and guarantees delivery of your
message.
Petitions are obsolete.
• There’s power in numbers — but numbers of constituents
who share their own thoughts.
• Obviously fake “names” on a petition make a mockery of
a serious issue – and lawmakers view petitions as little
more than spam.

3. What’s Your Issue?
Find a bill you care about.
Every bill pending before Congress is listed on POPVOX. Get started at www.popvox.com/bills

4. What’s Your Point of View?
Sending your message to Congress is as easy as 1, 2 and 3.
1. Click Support or Oppose on a bill that compels you...
2. Write your message to your
Representative or Senator...
3. Tell your friends!

5. Your Voice, Verified
POPVOX asks for:
• Your name
• Home address
• Phone number
So that your Member of Congress is assured that you’re
a constituent, making your comment a priority.
• We verify your home address with the US Postal
Service.
• We also send you an email with a one-click
confirmation.
POPVOX only shares your information with Congress.
(See our privacy policy at www.popvox.com/privacy).

6. Your Voice, Quantified
The people’s voice is aggregated
so we get “the big picture.”
When you weigh in on a bill,
you change the map and the pie charts!

7. Your Voice, Amplified
Once you’ve weighed in on a bill, motivate others to take action.
Share a bill via e-mail,
Twitter or Facebook.
