Description
Red Blue Voice offers both a Crowdfunding and a Crowd Creativity tool for political and social groups as well as nonprofits. Any user can submit television, radio, print or online media to an issue or group portal that he or she is passionate about. When the community has voted that the media has met basic community standards, the media is opened up for Crowd Funding in local or national media markets. Red Blue Voice takes the power of political and social messaging currently controlled by Super PACs and gives it back to individuals.
