CHICAGO, March 13, 2008 — Every election season voters are bombarded with radio and television ads, direct mail, billboards, and fliers urging them to support a variety of candidates in several political races. The sheer volume of messages can be overwhelming, often leaving people unsure about whom they should vote for on election day. Fortunately, a new service called VoteFone is helping voters navigate through the campaign clutter by simply calling a local telephone number to hear exactly where candidates stand on important issues.
"It’s very difficult to assess a candidate fairly by reading a campaign flier or listening to a few sound bites on the evening news," explains Dorsey West, the founder and president of VoteFone. "Allowing undecided voters to hear candidates address key election issues in their own words arms them with the information they need to cast their votes with confidence."
VoteFone provides campaign hotlines that undecided voters can call at no additional charge and listen to candidates explain their political platform, 24 hours a day. "The response has been tremendous," says West. "We’ve already received a lot of positive feedback from voters saying that they have a much clearer understanding of a particular candidate’s position after calling their VoteFone number." Sen. Barack Obama is the most high-profile candidate with a VoteFone campaign hotline, which can be reached at (312) 924-0624.
VoteFone can set up campaign hotlines for candidates throughout the United States, as well as several European and Latin American countries. For more information, visit the VoteFone website at http://www.votefone.com or call (773) 787-0287.
