Liz Carter for Congress Goes Mobile with iPhone Application

Liz Carter for Congress Goes Mobile with iPhone Application

Transparency in Congress – There’s a rep for that.

(ATLANTA) – Liz Carter announced today the launch of her new iPhone application, available at iTunes. This app will allow the public to access the Liz Carter for Congress campaign anytime, anywhere on the leading smartphone platform. The application showcases Liz’s campaign information, news, events, photos, videos, and allows her supporters to volunteer, contribute, and share information with their friends and followers using Twitter and Facebook.  In addition to supporting the broadcast and viral sharing of information, the application will also allow an unprecedented level of feedback from the mobile community supporting real-time surveys and polls.

In honor of the launch, the Liz Carter for Congress campaign will be raffling off an iPod Touch at the Defending the American Dream Summit at the Cobb Galleria today. (http://www.americansforprosperity.org) Raffle tickets are available to attendees of the event.

“I am thrilled to be the first Congressional candidate in Georgia to launch an iPhone app,” announced Liz. “Everyone needs real transparency from Congress and this is the first step in delivering a solid plan to provide that transparency to the people.”

“We need to embrace ways to involve our constituents and drive down the cost and size of Government. This iPhone app is a piece of that puzzle. It’s part of my commitment to keep everyone informed about how I plan to get people back to work.”

Liz went on to explain that when elected, the 4^th Congressional District will have a website that also provides access to the “people’s office.” When asked if the site would focus on her, she responded “Too many Congressional sites are all about the individual in office, not about the people they serve or the issues being discussed on the floor. Our site will serve as a vehicle to connect with the people of District 4, getting their feedback with the same polls and offering the same information available on the iPhone app. It’s time for this District to have a representation who truly listens to their constituents.”

The Liz Carter for Congress iPhone application is powered by technology and services provided by RaiseDigital and Purple Forge, the same companies responsible for California Senate Candidate Chuck Devore’s iPhone app. “Liz Carter is not a career politician, but a businesswoman who understands how this new technology will enhance her ability to communicate with Georgians and all Americans,” RaiseDigital’s Managing Director, Justin Hart, said.  “Liz has really embraced this technology and we are happy to partner with Purple Forge to provide her campaign with yet another way to show her commitment to transparency.”

Bribery and Hidden Agendas continue in Washington, D.C.

We must stay focused and continue to let the voice of the people be heard.

Over the past months we have seen bribery at an all time high in the “health control” bill negotiations – Unions, the State of Nebraska, the State of Louisiana, the State of Montana, and more.

Don’t think bribery will end with the “health control” bill, that we have stalled by electing Senator Scott Brown in Massachusetts – Thank you again to all those in MA.

Congress is still moving forward with immigration reform that will create “amnesty” for illegal aliens and which will create over 30 million “process and fee waived” votes.

President Obama will talk about creating a “new foundation” for our great nation, stay tuned for words like “rescue, restore and rebuild.”

The people have been clear – no more rescuing big business, acknowledge and ease taxes on small business – the backbone of this great nation, invite others to the negotiation table and open the door.

With new political advisors, yes David Plouffe is back; new marketing communication strategies will focus on “benefits” and move attention away from the process, the bribery and hidden agendas. The speck of transparency we have seen will cease to exist. The liberal agenda of BIG Government and OVER Regulation will be sugar coated and fed to the media.

Government does not create sustainable jobs; don’t be fooled by the calls of “job creation”.

Our nation and values are still under attack by extremists, we must remain vigilant on destroying terrorists – not protecting rights they are not entitled to.

Stay vigilant and remember – Every seat is important in 2010. One seat makes a difference. One vote makes a difference.
