America’s problems are solved
when One USApp
comes installed on every phone and pc
USApp will be owned
by the Federal Government
A great idea that every voter wishes
President Trump and Congress will do!
What USAapp Can Do…
1) Connects registered voters directly to their elected officials (and during elections registered candidates.)
2) Eliminates fake news and misinformation. Info comes direct from the President and Republican and Democrat legislators.
3) Lets voters tell their congressman and senator how to vote on each issue through polls.
4) Candidates for free can reach voters without $$$$$ donations from lobbyists and PACS who want something in return.
5) Enables emergency communication during pandemics, disasters, etc. between govt. & citizens AND citizens to govt.
6) Reduces government costs because one app can be the official portal for many U.S. agencies.
Who Can Use USApp?
1) Users register the app with the USA using their credentials.
2) The phone company also confirms the owner’s identity with the USA.
3) The app is pre-installed on everyone’s phones. See “Questions” below for more info.
Goodbye Fake News!
Citizens click on any issue and read the news and views submitted into USApp by elected officials in Democratic & Republican parties. Citizens compare accurate and complete points of view without media or social media bias.
Give People A Say!
Registered voters can tell their own Congressman and Senators how to vote on each issue. Tell officials what issues matter most. Politicians will always know how to please their majority!
Run For Office Without $$$$$
Candidates can reach all voters with the app for free! No need to raise millions for ads paid for by donations from PACs & lobbyists who want laws good for them but not the people. Now voters matter most & can even donate via app.
Cut Government Costs
Many ways to save! Gather census and economic surveys, count who needs a job, securely send info from Weather Bureau, IRS, Social Security, Medicare, etc. with no postage, and so much more.
Public Safety
USApp is essential during pandemics, disasters, wars, recessions because government can send info to citizens plus gather info from them instantly. Who is sick, had a home destroyed, needs a job? Who needs to be warned?
States Can Benefit Too
States can decide to use USApp to extend features to local candidates, and gain savings for the state.
Questions and Answers about USApp
Who should create and own USApp?
USApp should be created and owned by the Federal Government. It should benefit all citizens plus Member of Congress and the President but also all Federal government agencies who can save by having access to a single platform used by U.S.A. citizens to interact with the government. Likely many states will also decide to use it, although Congress could mandate that every state must.
How can the USA mandate manufacturers and phone carriers to install USApp on every device?
The radio spectrum that mobile phones use is owned by the government and licensed to the cell phone carriers, so the government could require installation of the USApp on all phones. Likely the app would be part of the operating system, either Android or IOS, in which case the user cannot delete the app. Like most apps, users could decide not to use it, unless the law requires that some notifications are always active, such as emergency notifications, or even important communications from Members of Congress or the President. (See the additional note about voter registration.)
To reach citizens who use the Internet with PCs or tablets, the government could ask or mandate browser manufacturers (Google Chrome, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, etc.) to build a USApp button into their browser interface, or, PC manufacturers to include in the operating system.
How would USApp have helped with COVID, hurricanes, or forest fires?
USApp would be invaluable regarding pandemics, because the government and health officials could push notifications to users phones and PCs and email inboxes as needed. Online surveys could gather information from much of the total population, helping to measure and manage the crisis. Who is sick? Who is vaccinated? Where are the biggest outbreaks? Anonymous data (without knowing the user’s identity) could be gathered and analyzed to know how people are traveling about, or coming into contact with contact with others who have self-reported in surveys that they have tested positive for COVID-19. Economic data could be gathered about who is out of work, what businesses are shuttered or open, etc. These are just a few of many ways USApp can help.
How can USApp know if a citizen is registered to vote?
The Federal law or Executive Order initiating the USApp could mandate states to coordinate their voter registration data with the Federal app.
How can USApp verify a citizen's identity?
To use USApp a user of course would have to go through a registration process to prove identity, much like is required for other Federal or State services such as the IRS, Social Security, driver’s license bureau, etc. Once the user’s device is verified, then they would have access to services. Of course, in the case of phones, the phone carrier has already reviewed the identify of the purchaser with a driver’s license and credit check, so the owner on the phone is on record and that data can be shared with USApp, to reconfirm the phone’s owner.
What about people who cannot afford a phone?
It’s possible that the Federal Goverment would help subsidize phones for those unable to afford one, much like the existing Lifeline Program. Tht program provides a monthly discount on phone or internet service for eligible low-income households. It helps ensure access to communication services. There is also an existing Affordable Connectivity Program. So, if USApp became an important element of democracy, then a subsidy is a possibility.
