November 3, 2026 — Make Your Voice Heard
Every day counts — are you registered?
3 simple steps to make sure your voice is heard

Most states let you register online in under 5 minutes. Do it now.
Know Your Polling Place
Find your polling location, check hours, and plan your Election Day.
This is We the People at our most powerful — shaping the laws that govern our lives. Right here, right now, your voice becomes action. Submit bold ideas, rally your neighbors' votes, and forge the reforms that define America's next chapter — term limits, campaign finance overhaul, protecting our freedoms, and every cause that matters to you. This isn't a suggestion box. This is the launchpad for real change.
3 terms max for House (6 yrs). 2 terms max for Senate (12 yrs). End the career politician class. Both parties have blocked this for decades.
Ban members of Congress and their families from trading individual stocks while in office. Mandatory blind trusts. End insider trading by the people who write the rules.
Hard donation caps on all political contributions. Full PAC transparency. End dark money. Politicians should answer to voters — not to whoever writes the biggest check.
Require Congress to pass a balanced budget every year by constitutional mandate. Emergency exceptions require a 2/3 supermajority. Stop spending money we don't have.
Complete, independent audit of the Fed's operations, assets, and decisions. They control the money supply for 330M Americans with almost zero public transparency.
Require every bill to be publicly posted online for at least 72 hours before any congressional vote. No more "we have to pass it to find out what's in it." Read it first.
Require every spending bill to be voted on individually. No more 4,000-page omnibus packages jammed with hidden pork nobody read. One bill, one subject, one vote.
Require Congress to fund VA healthcare at a minimum of 1.2% of GDP each year. No more veterans waiting 6+ months for mental health care or prosthetics. Non-negotiable baseline.
Every American household — rural or urban — deserves reliable broadband by 2027. Require ISPs receiving federal subsidies to hit actual coverage benchmarks or return the money.
Redirect federal K-12 funding to follow the student, not the system. Parents choose public, charter, private, or homeschool. ESAs funded at $8,000 per child annually.
Every new federal regulation expires in 10 years unless Congress affirmatively renews it. No more rules that outlive their purpose by decades. Agencies must justify every rule's continued existence.
Federal law must respect existing state water compacts. No federal agency can reallocate Colorado River or Great Basin water without state legislative consent and full public environmental review.
Any federal contract over $1 million must be competitively bid and posted publicly for 30 days. Sole-source exceptions require written Secretary-level justification published in the Federal Register.
Hospitals already required to post prices under 2021 law — but 70% still don't comply. $3M/day fines for non-compliance. Real price transparency so patients can shop and compare before procedures.
Parents have the right to review all curriculum, opt children out of any instruction conflicting with family values, and access school mental health records. No federal funding for schools that violate this.
Give the President authority to strike individual spending items from appropriations bills without vetoing the entire package. 44 states already give governors this power. End the all-or-nothing budget hostage game.
Complete independent audit of every dollar in foreign aid — who receives it, what it funds, and what results were achieved. Not one more dollar without a full accounting.
Require every American high school student to pass a basic civics and Constitutional literacy exam before graduation. Same test given to naturalized citizens. If immigrants must pass it, so should our graduates.
End the Supreme Court's Citizens United era by constitutional amendment. No more unlimited anonymous corporate money in elections. Politicians should answer to voters — not to billionaire-funded shadow campaigns.
Possession of small amounts of any drug for personal use should be a civil fine, not a criminal offense. Redirect savings from prosecution and incarceration to addiction treatment. Evidence from Portugal and Oregon shows it works.
No former Senator, Representative, or senior Executive Branch official may register as a federal lobbyist for five years after leaving office. Quadruple the current 2-year ban. The revolving door corrupts democracy.
The Pentagon has NEVER passed a full financial audit in its history. $858B annual budget. Six consecutive audit failures (2018-2023). This is not a partisan issue — it's basic accountability. Freeze DoD budget increases until it passes.
The United States has violated over 500 treaties with Native American tribes. Full treaty enforcement — water rights, hunting rights, and sovereign land guarantees — with compensation for documented violations. No new extraction on sacred lands without tribal consent.
Have a policy reform We the People need? Submit it and let the community vote it into action.
Net Worth Growth While in Office
Real leaders serve the people, not their bank accounts. Data from public financial disclosures (FEC, OpenSecrets, etc.). Not investment advice.
⚠ DISCLAIMER: Net worth change alone does not prove integrity or corruption. Gains or losses can come from legitimate business, investments, inheritance, or other factors. All data is from public disclosures (FEC, OpenSecrets, state filings). Users should review full context and sources.
Who Funds Your Representatives?
Campaign contributions reveal who has financial access to power. Transparency lets voters decide if their representatives serve the people — or their donors.
⚠ DISCLAIMER: Campaign contributions are legal and do not imply corruption. Donations reflect supporter priorities, not guaranteed policy influence. All data is sourced from public FEC filings and OpenSecrets.org. Figures are representative totals from the most recent available election cycles. Users should verify current data at OpenSecrets.org and FEC.gov.
The full deep dive: learn how the system really works — then go build your team.
Start here: the machinery of American government, top to bottom.
Three branches, one system of checks & balances.
The Founders deliberately split power so no single person or group could control everything. Government is divided into three branches, and each one can check the other two.
Makes the laws. Congress = the House + the Senate. It writes and passes bills, controls federal spending (the "power of the purse"), declares war, and confirms or rejects key appointments.
Enforces the laws. The President, Vice President, Cabinet, and federal agencies. Signs or vetoes bills, runs the military, conducts foreign policy, and nominates judges & officials.
Interprets the laws. The Supreme Court and lower federal courts. Decides whether laws are constitutional, settles disputes, and sets binding precedent for the future.
Power is split again. The federal government handles national matters; states keep everything not handed to D.C. — which is why the same issue can be legal in one state and banned in another.
Who has real power over what — from D.C. to your county.
Knowing what a position can and can't do is how you hold the right person accountable — and how you spot a promise that office has no power to keep.
Enforces federal law, sets foreign policy & treaties, commands the military, vetoes bills, and nominates judges. Cannot pass laws or set the budget alone.
100 members (2 per state, 6-year terms). Confirms judges & Cabinet, ratifies treaties, and holds impeachment trials. Every state gets an equal voice.
435 members (by population, 2-year terms). Originates spending & tax bills, represents local districts, and starts the impeachment process.
Your direct line into federal lawmaking — the federal official closest to your community's day-to-day needs.
The state's chief executive. Signs or vetoes state laws, proposes the state budget, commands the National Guard, and runs state agencies (DMV, schools, roads).
Local power: police, zoning, parks, local roads, and city budgets — the decisions you feel most directly.
From a single idea to the law of the land — step by step.
Most bills never make it. Here's the full gauntlet a proposal has to survive to become law:
The skills to read a bill, a promise, and a news story for what they really say.
Crack open the actual text and find what it really does.
A bill's real meaning lives in its text, not its title. A law named the "Freedom & Prosperity Act" might do neither. Here's how to read one like a staffer instead of a headline.
Like H.R. 1 (House) or S. 1 (Senate) — the tracking number you'll use to follow it anywhere.
Who introduced it and who signed on. Whose names are attached tells you whose priorities it serves.
The "why" section up top — and where spin hides. Read the stated goals skeptically.
The real rules. "Shall" means mandatory; "may" means optional. Tiny words, huge difference.
How much money, to whom, for how long. Follow the dollars to find the real intent.
When it kicks in — and whether it quietly expires later.
Cut through the talking points and spot the spin.
Politicians are trained to sound good. These habits help you separate what was actually done from what was merely said.
"Fought for," "supported," "called for" ≠ "passed," "signed," "delivered." Vague verbs hide inaction.
A floor speech is free. Look at the recorded vote and the final outcome instead.
Did the result happen because of them — or was it already in motion before they arrived?
"Massive investment" is spin. "$2.1B over 5 years" is a fact you can verify.
Real claims link to bills, budgets, or records. No source = treat it as opinion.
If they only attack "the other side," they may be dodging their own record.
Every story is framed by someone — learn to see the frame.
News isn't just facts — it's facts chosen, ordered, and packaged. Spin isn't always lying; it's steering what you notice. Learn these moves and you can read any outlet, left or right.
Which detail leads? What's buried in paragraph 12? The order of a story is an argument.
"Slammed," "blasted," "regime." Emotion-words do persuasion the facts can't.
A true number with no baseline or context can be twisted to prove almost anything.
Headlines are built to be shared; the body often quietly walks them back.
"Sources say" can be real — or convenient. Ask who benefits from the leak.
Giving "both sides" equal weight when the evidence isn't equal is its own bias.
How campaigns are funded, and the warning signs that money is buying a vote.
Follow the money behind the message.
Campaigns run on money, and who funds a politician can shape who they answer to. Transparency is how voters see those ties. Know the key terms:
A Political Action Committee — raises money to support candidates within legal donation limits.
Can raise and spend unlimited sums independently, but can't donate directly to a candidate.
Funds from groups that don't have to disclose who their donors are.
One person gathering many separate donations to amplify their influence.
Paid efforts to influence how legislators write and vote on laws.
Public FEC reports showing who gave, how much, and when.
Spot the warning signs of money buying influence.
Money in politics is legal — but certain patterns are smoke that often signals fire. None of these prove corruption on their own. Together, they're worth a very hard look.
The freedoms the republic guarantees you, and how to defend your vote.
The rulebook of the republic — and the rights it guarantees you.
Ratified in 1788, the Constitution is the supreme law of the land. It builds the three branches, divides power between the federal government and the states, and — through the Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments) — guarantees individual freedoms. There are 27 amendments in all.
Freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and the right to petition the government.
The right to keep and bear arms.
Protection from unreasonable searches and seizures.
Due process, no self-incrimination, and protection from double jeopardy.
Equal protection and due process under the law for all citizens.
Voting rights protected regardless of race, sex, and for everyone 18 and older.
Know exactly what you're entitled to at the ballot box.
Your right to vote is protected by law — but the rules vary by state, and knowing them is how you make sure your vote actually counts.
Every eligible citizen can register. Many states now offer online or same-day registration.
Some states require photo ID, others don't. Check your state's rule before election day.
If your eligibility is questioned, you can still cast a provisional ballot that's verified later.
Many states legally require employers to give you paid or unpaid time off to vote.
Voters with disabilities or language needs can get help; accessible and curbside voting exist.
No one may threaten, harass, or block you from voting. Voter intimidation is a federal crime.
AN INFORMED VOTER IS AN UNSTOPPABLE ONE
Now take what you've learned and put it to work
PolitiDex is neutral by design, community-powered, and has no agenda except accountability. Here's how everyday citizens hold elected officials to their word.
Citizens dig into the public record — campaign speeches, floor votes, press conferences, and official filings. Every submission requires a verifiable source link, ensuring nothing enters the system unchecked.
The community reviews and votes on every claim. Evidence is cross-referenced against nonpartisan, publicly available records. Disputes are escalated to a volunteer editorial board with full transparency at every step.
Verified claims update each politician's Promise Score in real time. No rumors, no spin, no partisan weighting — just a clear, data-driven record of who keeps their word and who doesn't. The result: accountability you can measure.
Transparency. Accountability. Democracy.
“We the People deserve transparency, accountability, and a government that truly serves us — not special interests.”
PolitiDex was built on a simple but powerful belief: every citizen has the right to know exactly what their elected officials are doing, how they vote, who funds them, and how their personal wealth changes while in office.
For too long, this information has been scattered, buried, or deliberately obscured. Politicians on both sides of the aisle have benefited from a system where voters are kept in the dark. That ends now.
We are not left. We are not right. We are the people. We believe sunlight is the best disinfectant, and that an informed electorate is the most powerful force in a democracy. Every vote tracked, every dollar followed, every promise held to account — that is our pledge to you.
PolitiDex is free, open, and non-partisan. We don’t tell you who to vote for. We give you the facts, the records, and the receipts — so you can decide. This is your tool. This is your movement. This is democracy in action.

How we score politicians, where our data comes from, and why you can trust — and challenge — every number on this site.
Only verifiable public promises count. Vague statements ("I'll do better"), aspirational goals, and unofficial remarks are not scored. Every scored promise must have a source citation.
Pending promises are excluded until they can be evaluated as Kept or Broken. This prevents gaming the score by making many vague, unresolvable pledges.
Editorial significance weighting is applied for major flagship promises (like "Mexico will pay for the wall") which carry more weight than minor procedural pledges. Weightings are documented per promise in each profile.
Partial credit (🔵 Partial) is recorded separately for promises that were partially fulfilled — e.g., a law passed but significantly watered down from what was pledged. Partials count as 0.5 Kept.
Scores update in real time as new submissions are verified. A politician's score may change as pending promises resolve or new evidence surfaces about past claims.
PolitiDex pulls from a layered stack of primary and secondary sources. Every scored promise requires at least one Tier 1 or Tier 2 source citation.
Every submission goes through a multi-step review before it affects any politician's score. Speed is never more important than accuracy.
A contributor submits evidence with the politician's name, verdict, the exact promise or claim, and a source URL. All fields are required. The submission enters a pending queue — not visible publicly until reviewed.
Our volunteer research team independently verifies the cited source, confirms the exact promise quote, and checks for context — ensuring nothing is taken out of context or mischaracterized. Turnaround: 24–72 hours.
Editorial team uses multiple leading AI models — Grok, Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, and others — for initial fact-cross-referencing and context analysis before human review. Discrepancies between models trigger escalated human review.
Verified submissions go to public community voting (👍 / 👎). High-upvote submissions are prioritized for editorial review. Community consensus helps surface the most credible and significant catches.
A 3-person editorial panel reviews the submission, the source, community votes, and the full context. They assign a final verdict (Kept / Broken / Partial / Pending) and significance weight. Majority vote rules; dissents are logged.
Approved submissions update the politician's score in real time. Politicians' staff, researchers, or community members may submit an appeal with new evidence. Appeals are reviewed within 7 days. Reversals are possible and publicly noted.
"PolitiDex holds every politician to the same standard, regardless of party, ideology, or popularity. A broken promise is a broken promise whether it comes from the left, the right, or anywhere in between."
Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Independents — all held to identical scoring standards. No exceptions, no favoritism.
PolitiDex does not accept political advertising, PAC funding, or payments from campaigns. Our scores cannot be bought.
Anyone — including politicians' own offices — can submit an appeal with new evidence. We correct errors publicly and promptly.
Every score is built promise-by-promise with a full audit trail. Click any politician's profile to see every data point behind their number.
Our volunteer editors include politically diverse members — no party may hold a majority on any panel reviewing any single submission.
Editors must recuse themselves from reviewing submissions about politicians they have personal ties to. Recusals are logged and publicly visible.
All Promise % scores are estimates based on publicly available information and editorial judgment. They are not legal findings, official government assessments, or definitive verdicts. Reasonable people may disagree on how to score any individual promise.
We strive for accuracy but cannot guarantee that all information is complete, up-to-date, or error-free. Political records are complex, sometimes contradictory, and subject to interpretation. If you find an error, please submit a correction via our appeals process.
Nothing on PolitiDex constitutes legal advice, defamation, or a formal accusation of wrongdoing. All statements about potential conflicts of interest are based on public reporting and are presented as information for civic discussion, not as established fact.
This methodology may be updated as PolitiDex grows and our processes improve. Major methodology changes will be announced publicly and will not be applied retroactively to existing scores without review.
