You2Gov Announces Major Technology Rollout

Whether it's McCain or Obama You2Gov Offers Instant Communications to Congress

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- You2Gov, the pioneering social networking web site, today announced major additions to its technology that allows users to directly contact their Members of Congress. You2Gov's technology allows users to contact elected officials in a rapid, secure and private manner that is typically only available to the large corporations, trade groups, unions and their lobbyists in Washington, D.C.

Registered You2Gov users can now utilize the free, customized database that includes contact information for all Members of the United States Congress, both House of Representatives and Senate, along with an easy-to-use tool kit at http://www.you2gov.org/index.php/Elected-Officials.

By creating the "Armchair Lobbyist" You2Gov brings to regular Americans the same power of "instant communication" with lawmakers that billion dollar corporations, trade groups, and big unions enjoy. Whether it is a mobile phone or a desktop, Macintosh or PC laptop, You2Gov's one-touch features enable users to email, write, or make live telephone calls via Skype& Jaxtr -- directly from their computer screen or PDA. You2Gov provides a wide variety of research tools and up-to-the minute news updates to help Americans remain well-informed about the issues they care about.

You2Gov CEO Alan W. Silberberg stated, "I could not be more excited with the launch of this unique and extremely needed tool kit that could not be arriving at a timelier period in history. The current Economic crisis and the Bailout that the House, Senate and President voted for are all yet one more reason why everyday Americans need these tools to be able to exhibit effective oversight of our Government. We have been working intensely since our recent launch to make our tool kit even stronger. The addition of our searchable, customized Congressional database that allows instant contact with Members of Congress, on both the House and Senate, is yet one more powerful tool that You2Gov is making available to its users, free of charge. You2Gov is leading the drive to turn U.S. Politics and Government into something where accountability exists, and we do so through transparent action and research."

You2Gov -- http://www.you2gov.com is a pioneering political social networking website that is one of the fastest growing political websites in America, and is on PC Magazine's list of top 20 Political websites for 2008.
