Best thing I've ever put my tech startup skillz to use for!

If you haven't already checked out http://feelthebern.org, please do so and share widely. We built it to make clear where Bernie Sanders stands on every issue... TL;DR for 50+ years he's been consistent and on the right side of history no matter the political cost.

Before this I'd never found (or even tried to find) common ground with, say, Republicans, libertarians or even mainline Democrats. I'd also never really known people in active military service, or who were formerly homeless — but these are some of the amazing humans who I've been working with for 7 weeks now.

Most Americans care about the same things, and if we can move past the broken two-party system and the theatrics that play out in the media, we can actually start solving problems together. Feel grateful that thanks to this candidate and his issues-based campaign, my world's a little bigger.

Join us, we have mobile apps and social apps and so much more coming out. We need great devs, designers, writers & more. :-)

Cool site...a couple points of feedback:

- Privacy & Digital Rights should be near the top of the homepage

- Every page hits me with a wall of text, and sometimes I have to scroll further down to actually get to the part about his views. It is fine to have that info, but would be great to have a giant bold one sentence summary of his stance on things at the very top. People don't like to read ;)

This is really a great job: modern, responsive and clean. Kudos.
