Q+A for every Public Figure with a verified Twitter Account on AskThem

Today we’re officially launching our new major project – AskThem.io– a free & open-source platform for questions-and answers with elected officials at every level of government.

We’re thrilled to promote another powerful dimension of AskThem- enabling users to target questions and petitions to any verified Twitter account. Our aim is to promote dynamic dialogue between influential figures and entities across disciplines- from prominent journalists and artists to businesses and government agencies.

Ask Justin Bieber about the provisions of his O-1 work visa…

Ask Politico’s Chief White House Correspondent Mike Allen about his rural coverage before his pivot to national politics…

Ask the Environmental Protection Agency about carbon pollution standards…

Question for: Francis S. Collins

Sign up here before we launch to register for an account and be one of the first to submit questions to a public figure or elected official.
