The carrot
They vote the way you asked.
Your money is released to an independent PAC that supports them. Accountability, rewarded, and they know who to thank.
Make them listen all year.
Hold elected representatives accountable to you on every vote, not just their billionaire donors.
Tell your representative which way to vote, and put money behind it. Reward the ones who deliver, and fund a challenger for the ones who don’t.
Beta opens July 4, 2026
We won’t sell your address or fill your inbox. You’ll get one note when the beta opens, and after that only when a vote you backed is coming up.
Why now
From your house to the People’s House.
The fights you feel start close to home: your property taxes, the Flock cameras on your street, the data center spiking your power bill. Every one of them is decided by a vote, and your pledge follows the same money all the way up, from city hall to your member of Congress.

your homeProperty taxes hit your mailbox every year, set by people you can name. This is the closest lever you've got.

Your neighborhood
your blockFlock cameras went up block by block and most folks never got a say. A pledge aimed at the next vote is how you push back.

Your city

Your state

How it works
Every vote, a price. Two outcomes, and either way it costs them something.
Step 1 · Pledge
Pick what you’re voting on. Put a number on it.
Back a specific bill or measure, or send a general “this isn’t good.” We charge your pledge up front and hold it in escrow. Nothing moves until the roll call, then your money goes one of two ways.
Step 2 · The vote is recorded
The stick
They vote wrong, miss it, or vote “present.”
Your money is released to a PAC supporting their opponent. Accountability, enforced. Silence and absence count as a choice.
Step 3 · As the election nears
We release the money, exactly as you voted.
When the campaign matters most, your escrowed pledge moves to the side the roll call earned, straight into an independent PAC, where it counts.
They voted your way
Your pledge is released to a PAC working to re-elect them. The reward arrives right when their campaign needs it.
They voted against you
Your pledge is released to a PAC backing their opponent, funding a real challenge when it stings most.
Right now, they only listen on a schedule.
Campaigns pour money in to win your vote, then go quiet the moment they’re sworn in. A standing pledge keeps the pressure flat across the whole term.

Their attention to you todayYour leverage with Carrot & the Stick
See the record. Bring a neighbor.
See how your rep really votes.
We publish every representative’s full historical voting record, so you can see exactly where they stand against their district, and just as importantly, where their district stands against them. Pledge on the next vote that matters, then share the card.
When they don’t listen
When they just don’t listen, change what listening costs.
You write, you call, and a form letter comes back. Here’s the difference the moment your ask carries the whole district, and real money, behind it.
Development roadmap
From a July 4 launch to a people’s lobby.
Four phases. We start with the federal floor and work outward, until anyone can do what only corporate lobbyists could before.
July 4, 2026
Federal launch
We open the beta on Independence Day. From day one you can pledge on recorded votes in the U.S. House and Senate.
First 30 days
Local data-center fights
We zero in on local campaigns where AI data-center applications are moving through approval, and put pledges behind the votes that decide if they get built and who pays for the power.
Through the cycle
State by state
We expand legislature by legislature, so you can hold your own statehouse representatives accountable on the votes that shape your community.
The vision
A community-authored lobby
Members launch their own campaigns: draft and submit new policies to any tier of lawmaker, from city council to Congress. Finally, the public has a way to shape the law the same way corporate lobbyists always have.

The money and the rules.
Held, then passed through. Pledges sit in escrow, then go to PACs. We never keep them.
