Terms of Service


Advertising & Business Model

The founder of TowneForCongress.com is just like you. I am a concerned American just like you and I go to work every day to pay the bills. Collectively, we’re all now public servants to one another. Our leadership has failed us and “We the People” are on our own to educate government and enforce our collective will.

Online businesses such as “free” social networks are not EVER truly free. You and I both know that. There are three choices for “We the People” to collectively as Patriots pay the bills in developing this important collaborative work together:

  1. We can all either have huge web ads or aggregating pop-ups of stupid, irrelevant ads that hold little value to any of us and in our face disrupting our experience (ugh!)
  2. We can charge $10 a month per user (I hear a zero vote coming on that debate)
  3. We can accept direct mail and email ads based on our preferences at sign up and force the corporate sponsors to ONLY SEND ADS OF RELEVANCE, including discounts on items we ACTUALLY NEED because we’re all going broke. Out of the three, I choose the last option because it doesn’t interfere with our experience at the site, is store and forward if we want to look at it later or throw it directly into the trash and is more closely targeted to our true, vested interests.

    At some point, “We the People” will ask one or two large corporate sponsors to fund all of us, minimizing or eliminating the need for advertiser funding. A donation model is another option if and when enough people understand I can’t do this alone.

We will not give out sensitive information for you to be plundered by the Digital Media or Financial world like “We the People” have all seen over the last decade. For example: If I sign up and give my information to get a discount for sports sneakers, why should I be getting credit card offers?! We all know why I didn’t don’t we? My information was whored out to the financial system, the same one fleecing all of us for the last few years. You sign up, you get viewpoints on politicians in email or postal mail. You’ll get requests to take surveys. Most will come from the private sector, some will come from politicians where they cannot use your information to plunder you or we sue them and they fund “We the People” ’s model the hard way. Hey, at least “We the People” can have a better use of how Politicians spend our tax money as they fund what all of us are doing to create the solutions.

We make it easy to remove yourself at any time and further, we have human beings here you can talk to, including me. I can’t be any more blunt about all this, I hope I was forthcoming and spared you the platitudes.
Now here is the rest of the legal-speak about how you won’t try to hack the site, act disrespectful, make threats, hurt people, and how to protect yourself on TowneForCongress.com (or any RagingDebate, LLC subsidiary site):
