YourWordsCount.org Voters are angry, frustrated and ashamed by the way our elected officials act. Do you feel that way? Then it’s time to act. www.YourWordsCount.org

America was built through the exercise of free speech and the protection of individual rights to assure a representative democracy. We hold our First Amendment rights sacred. And yet, the strident tenor of contemporary American discourse is threatening our cherished democracy. Acrimonious language by elected officials and their surrogates has rendered the legislative process impotent. The 112th Co

ngress has been roundly denounced as the least effective in history, even as the challenges we face as a country continue to mount. American voters have lost confidence in the ability of our political leaders to solve the most serious of problems: a staggering deficit, the need for jobs, a broken tax system. They feel angry, frustrated and ashamed by the way our elected officials act.
