If the Americans among you haven’t already noticed, I’ll let you know now. There’s an election coming up in 2012. A big one. The problem is, you’ve not got much of a choice when it comes to voting for your next President. It’s Democrat or Republican, Good vs. Evil (whichever way you look at it!). There’s no in betweens when it comes to policy, no grey areas. And that’s quite annoying according to the politically minded creators of Ruck.Us.

And then take action together, getting recommendations on petitions, candidates, causes and more. Click here to get started!

OpinionStage filters out the spammers by making you connect with Facebook, which isn’t a bad thing at all, as it improves the quality of contributions. Watch the video to learn more, or click here to start debating or discussing the latest trending opinions.
