Welcome to HopeSmart America. My Name is Charles Mongillo, but you can call me Chuck. I am an American. I was born in New York State and I’ve been living as a citizen of the United States of America for the past 36 years.
I am an Independent, agnostic, logical, libra. As a computer automator I wrote and maintained full business software for a few of the on-line cigarette retailers in New York from my home in Georgia. Once our government made a law that prohibited the post office from delivering their products, I find myself along with many others looking for new work.
For the last several years I had wanted to write HopeSmart. I didn’t know what exactly I wanted it to do, only that I had hoped it would help myself and others better understand politics, our country, and the people we are voting for. So after being pushed out of my current job I gave it a shot and wrote the beta HopeSmart.com software.
With the help of HopeSmart.com I intend to raise the bar for all elected officials by giving us, the people, a better way to choose who we vote for by having a way to access more information on the people running for office. Here you can see your candidates actual stance on an issue. With their political agendas, you can see things he or she intends to do when elected to office.
HopeSmart consists of two separate parts, the site and the main blog.
You may have noticed how much rhetoric candidates use when speaking in public to avoid addressing actual issues. Using power words like Honor, Hope, Courage, and Change in effort to distract you from getting an actual answer to a question. With the HopeSmart site the goal is to give you a way to clearly read where a candidate stands so you can make more informed decisions that will allow you to vote for the person that represents you best.
The Second aspect of HopeSmart is the HopeSmart blog. Here, I am your host. I am hoping that together we will learn about government, political tactics, and gimmicks used to gain your vote, and the different sides of political and social issues.
The idea is to give those running for office, and myself the best and most logical arguments relevant to any given issue so there is less need for ambiguous rhetoric.
It's time to find the candidates that will put the American people above special interest and big government. After so many years of average, I would like at least four years of awesome and you can help.
HopeSmart.com is just staring out, so I am sure there will be plenty of mistakes made and lessons learned, but I am hopeful that it will ultimately be a useful tool. Like many others, I currently know very little about government and politics. Through trial and error I hope that together we will share information and can build a better president, and better politicians to represent us and our great country.
Thank you for visiting HopeSmart.com
