Who
We Are
e-Elections.com, Inc. launched this site in October 1999 and began
to offer everything a candidate or issues-based campaign needs to
wage a campaign, or any aspect of a campaign, on the Internet. We
offer the best Web addresses
around - for free - as well as e-mail
campaigning, Web sites and design, online fund-raising and more
- for (what we think are) reasonable fees.
While
our goal (of course) is to pay the rent, we're also committed to
increasing participation in the democratic process via the Internet.
With our particular focus on issues, our nonpartisan e-Elections
community will help link people throughout the world who care about
particular matters, encouraging them to get involved.
Our
biographies are similar: Most of us are former journalists,
which means we are talented jacks of all trades adept at working
long, hard hours at high levels of intensity for below-market pay.
How
We Came to Be
After doing a Web site for a small electoral campaign in the San
Francisco Bay area, we realized that any campaign that registered
the shortest, most easy-to-remember Web address took that Web address
off the market for at least a year, preventing other campaigns from
using it. Worse, some campaigns were beginning to register the opposition's
Web address to "block" an opposing campaign from using the best
address. We think these practices violate the spirit of the Internet.
We
formed e-Elections so that multiple campaigns could use the same
address at the same time, and to offer Internet services in the
expanding market of campaigns and elections. We offer 252 Web addresses
-- which cover every letter in the alphabet and numbers 1 to 100
-- free. Visit www.YesOn2.net
to see how it works.
We
conduct business by a Code of Ethics
and believe in the power of the Internet to get people who live
hectic lives involved again in the political process.
