A news source that I could trust, that was unbiased and without political preferences, focused on exposing government waste at the local, provincial and federal levels of government.

A network or community focused on educating young people about the dangers of wasteful spending and how it will impact them, so that they will believe what I know is right.

A system that could alert me to upcoming key votes related to issues that I care most about.

A watchdog group that will watch politicians for me so that I (and they) can call them out and force them to do the right thing instead.

A nationwide effort to reach the public about wasteful spending activities and how it impacts them — so that they will become informed and take action to stop it.

A team that research complex and lengthy legislation for me and make it easy for me to understand how it will help or hurt me.
