Write In Your Vote.com - my new website......

Hey what's up everybody. Well I finally decided that I don't want to work anymore.... yeah I know it took a while.
so I've started this website in hopes that it'll make enough money that I can quit my job eventually.
I think it's a pretty good idea, it's basically like a myspace/facebook that revolves around US politics. Candidates running for office at any level can create a profile and have a free (relevant) space online to run their campaign. Regular "citizens" can join to as members. I'm hoping it will become a lively source of political discussion in the US.
I've got a ton of really cool features planned that I'm going to get online as soon as I can afford to, but what do you all think of it right now? I'm very curious, I haven't told too many people about it yet.
thanks everyone!

Looks amazing so far. Just one suggestion. The page is too "long" I guess you would call it. In other words, the scroll bar goes too far down. Condense the main page.

thanks man! 
yeah I've been trying to figure out a way around that. I added that show/hide all thing a few days ago but I don't like how it turned out, it's still too "long"

MY GOD MAN! YOU ARE A GENIUS! 
I totally didn't think of craigslist. I started a group on facebook to round up some testers, but craigslist is brilliant. thank you!

From the terms of use page:

I think that may be an error.
Also, in your privacy policy:
"We are glad to welcome you to Dolphin Smart Community Builder. Please read this privacy statement to ensure that we are committed to keeping secure the privacy of our members' (customers) details.
What information do we collect? Since BoonEx is providing you the software and support to build a website, we may require from you some information that may be considered as personally identifiable.

Also, you may want some tooltips explaining what Headline and Tags are in the registration section. Or possibly make it so they are not required. Same with your personal picture (avatar).
"Chat" in the topbar is lowercase and links to nothing.
Otherwise it looks pretty good! Sorry to be so critical...

excellent! thanks man! don't worry about being critical, if you are it's in a good way.
yeah that privacy policy and terms pages are left over. I used a kind of "pre-built" opensource social networking platform (Dolphin) and I haven't gotten my new ones back from my e-commerce lawyer friend yet.
The other stuff you pointed out, however, is very useful and I hadn't thought about it. The tooltips idea is really good, I want anybody to be able to use this site, so I need to do that for people who might not know what tags or something are like you were saying.
The chat thing should be fixed soon too.
Thanks so much for being so helpful! You have no idea how much I appreciate it!
peace, headie

hell yeah! let me know what you find. 
by the way more updates are on the way, by tomorrow afternoon I should have an invite mod that imports your contacts from myspace, facebook, aol, hotmail, gmail, youtube, etc. and sends emails to help promote the site. I think it should really help get the word out.
I also love the shroomery. There's always an abundance of helpful people around, whether I'm growing a bunch of mushrooms or trying to get some advice about my website.
Long live the Shroomery! 
alright well I gotta get back to work, thanks Cakes, and +5 to you!
