It looks like maybe the submission is just poorly titled? If you click through to the article, it has the following title:

>No More Calls From Strangers: Amicus Uses Facebook To Recruit Political Volunteers

And then, as you note, the article is about political campaigns. I'm not sure why the submitter felt the need to submit an article and then change the headline.

EDIT -- OP/founder clarified below.

Amicus is about more than just the political campaigns use case - since the submitter is the startup founder I'd imagine they wanted to make sure people knew there was something here for people beyond those interested in that one use case.

OP here. The title of this post is more accurate than the title of the TC article. The reporter focused on only one small use case of the product. In fact, politics is only a tiny part of Amicus' overall focus.
