I have a friend that works at Causes and after catching up with him in San Fran for some drinks I was amazed at the level of impact they have. The Sandy Hook Sympathy card, which harnessed the power of their platform was quick-to-action and has captured 2,536,431 signatures so far. While Sandy Hook was a tragedy, it proves the reach that Causes has and can definitely help be a launch pad for the tumultuous future in politics in America and around the world. Turning the capture of attention that Causes has into a source of political candidate data and actionable metrics for their audience seems like a critical step into turning angry online voices into voter turn-out. Using social networking which takes less money and time to spread a message is one of the best utilizations of our technology that I've seen so far, and definitely far nobler (Sorry, FarmVille). Great job guys, and its great to see startups coming out of San Fran that are a little less frivolous and a little more impactful on what could be a very dim future for democracy. Take the wind out of the SuperPACs!
