Get Business in the E-Advocacy Game

The Business Industry Political Action Committee (BIPAC) is a Washington, D.C. based organization whose stated mission is:

"The nation’s premier source of business political strategy since 1963, BIPAC provides the political strategy, and tools, to help our members reach their election and public policy goals."

BIPAC created a program known as the Prosperity Project to help businesses engage with public officials across the U.S.

"The Prosperity Project® is your organization’s grassroots toolkit. Your employees and shareholders will use your Prosperity Project® Web site to educate themselves about candidates, workplace issues and elections; register to vote; find their polling place; and communicate with their elected officials about issues that matter to them, and your industry. Your employees will thank you. "

Basically, you work with BIPAC and they help you set up a grassroots e-advocacy website so your employees or members will have easy acess to online tools for issue engagement. The BIPAC system is in use in 30 states across the U.S. currently.
