I am the administrator of YourLeaders.org, a website which attempts to catalogue lies, crimes, and scandals of corrupt American politicians. The site currently has a bunch of politicians but can use some work. I'm trying to raise money to finish the site, and once I have completed approximately 2-300 profiles, all the politicians on the site will be published in book form.
The $1500 will allow me to host the bandwidth for several years, do the research for all the politicians (I currently have a backlog of corruption which hasn't been put on the site yet), and
print and distribute manuscripts to publishers. If no publisher wants the book, it will be published on CreateSpace or some other POD publisher, but I am confident it will be picked up.
I am tired, very tired, of all the political corruption in America. The book and site are meant to be tools for citizens, journalists, and researchers to investigate people who want to be put into positions of authority in America. And unfortunately it's on "both sides" of the aisle.
Eventually, I hope to get a database together and release it under a Creative Commons license to anyone who wants it, but first I must build the database and that's what I want your help with.
I've created a list of great incentives for you to contribute to the project - please contact me if you have any questions. Consider buying the yearlong ad - the site has been featured on numerous sites including Digg.com and Reddit.com, and will almost certainly be seen by many people.
