I'm working with the founder and dev team of Qwanz.com, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the site. Qwanz is a polling site, with one key feature: once you've answered a poll, it gives you some next steps you can take -- including political / media / business figures who can actually use the information.
For example, someone who voted in this poll (http://www.qwanz.com/poll/245/) about Olympia Snowe could then forward the results to Snowe's press secretary (or call their office directly).
Qwanz is a startup with a thesis, and the thesis is simple: people fill out polls because they care about issues. If they really care, they'll welcome the chance to make a bigger difference.
Your feedback is appreciated! We're in the very early stages, so HN's comments will play an important role in what Qwanz does next.
Here are some Qwanz polls on what Qwanz should be doing:
