About ReadtoVote.org:

Co-founders of the highly acclaimed Tappening movement Mark DiMassimo and Eric Yaverbaum aim to create momentum and inspire all elected officials, as well as the general public, to actually read the bills being debated in our nation. ReadtoVote.org asks for a pledge to read these bills, and provides a link that allows visitors to easily download the major bills currently before Congress. DiMassimo and Yaverbaum plan to continue to invest in bold, brazen, educational marketing campaigns that focus on issues that are profoundly impacting the future of our country.
