We are a political video marketplace. We are dedicated to bringing the campaign directly to the voters. All candidates for a particular electoral office appear on the same page. Finally, there is the level playing field. May the best candidate with the best ideas win. Voters choose campaigns or candidates they want to learn about and view their video gallery or go to their five hyperlinked web addresses. We also have sections where visitors can comparison shop for political parties, special issue groups and ballot measure organizations.

No - we are totally nonpartisan. We accept subscriptions from those across the political spectrum. We feel the voter has the right to know about all the players in the political arena.

Politics today is like being in a rowboat in the ocean with no water to drink. Despite the plethora of political information on the web, voters face a real challenge putting together information that actually helps them cast their vote. The information is diffuse and scattered. At politiview.com we offer organization, context and a direct channel of communication between the candidate and the voter. Before they enter the voting booth, voters can go on politiview.com and go to their electoral districts and see, hear and in effect, meet all of the candidates in the race. Or they can follow any campaign anywhere in the country. No longer do voters need to wait to hear a campaign commercial or perhaps see a lone article in their local press. The campaign comes to them -- immediate, directed and customized to their needs.

The content on politiview.com comes from two sources: from our subscribers and votesmart.org. We do not supply content. Subscribers, be they candidates, campaigns, political parties, special issues groups or ballot measure organizations, can offer up to twenty videos at a time and five hyperlinked web addresses.

Our electoral information is generously supplied by votesmart.org, a leading non-profit, nonpartisan website that offers comprehensive and reliable electoral information. We are proud to be amongst the membership of votesmart.org. Please visit votesmart.org and consider contributing to their important and remarkable work.

Politiview.com is a unique service for those in the political arena. We aggregate and organize video political postings into electoral races. For an extremely affordable price, any candidate or campaign can subscribe and be on the same level playing field as their opponents, no matter the size of their campaign bank account. Campaigns can post 20 videos at a time.

The real-life applications are enormous. They include announcements, biographies, third party endorsements, rebuttals, policy pieces, speeches, campaign events, answering Facebook and Twitter questions, debates, etc.

The hyperlinked web addresses can take voters to the candidate’s website, their national party website, a third party endorsement, a special issue group website or video, or even landing pages that solicit donations, volunteers or publicize event schedules. Running for public office is hard, but politiview.com is easy!

With politiview.com, political parties, issues groups and ballot measure organizations can be where the action is --- where voters are congregating before casting their vote. Their subscription, like those for candidates and campaigns, is exactly the same --- a gallery of 20 videos at a time and five hyperlinked web addresses.

This is all in the service of connecting to the voter. A voter comes to politiview.com because we put it all together --- in an easily consumable, relevant context that helps voters comparison shop like never before!
