It's easy to forget, but every American citizen has a team of representatives ?�from their city�council�up through the Senate ? that's supposed to be working in their interest. We're their constituents, and while they won't always do what we ask them to (after all, there are a lot of people asking them for different things), they're at least supposed to hear us out. Votizen is a new startup that's looking to make this somewhat idealized notion a reality, and today it's announcing that it's landed $1.5 million in funding in a round led by Founders Fund, with participating investors including 500 Startups, 15 Angels (Bessemer), Keith Rabois, Ron Conway, Mark Goines, Founder Collective, Felicis Ventures, PivotNorth, Steve Blank, Eric Ries, Shervin Pishevar, and Tom Shields.
Votizen cofounder David Binetti says that representatives are often overwhelmed with the number of inbound messages they receive, especially as political activists use astroturfing strategies to mimic grassroots campaigns ? and the problem is only getting worse.
