The .0000063 Percent Election | The Nation

Those are the 196 individual donors who have provided nearly 80 percent of the money raised by super PACs in 2011 by giving $100,000 or more each.

- Corporations are not persons with constitutional rights equal to real people.
- Corporations are subject to regulation by the people.
- Corporations may not make campaign contributions or any election expenditures.
- Congress and states have the power to regulate campaign finances.

Reverse Robocall lets your robocall your representatives!
Politicians robocall you. Now you can robocall them.
Welcome to the Robocall Revolution. We believe that voters should have access to the same technology political groups use to get their message across; so we built a simple web-based robocall tool to literally give citizens back their voice in the political discourse. What better way to exercise your rights to to speech, than to actually speak truth to power?
ReverseRobocall.com provides voters an easy way to communicate with one or hundreds of politicians or political groups using the same technology politicians use, the robocall or automated phone call.

Pittsburgh government moves to the Cloud.
On time and on budget, Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and Google executives today celebrated Pittsburgh government’s successful transition to Google Apps for Government. In less than four months, nearly 3,000 City employees made the switch from Microsoft Exchange email to a Google-operated email and communication system that will save the City about 25 percent in annual email support costs and make employees more efficient. In addition, employees now have shorter, more customer-friendly email addresses, 500 times more email capacity and IT personnel no longer have to spend time on server management and maintenance.
