Poltical Technological Imagining #1

Here is the proposal. This is not all - just the tip of sword or iceberg
Imagining #1:
Setting #1: Your smartphone - to match my mental image - an Android Galaxy Note 5
Application #1: Pandora-like - Thumbs up/Thumbs Down as the platform.
Content#1:  Public Political Snippets on the order of 2-3 min.

User Story #1: The User has 3 options when presented a question at the bottom (much like the title of a song - but longer)  and the audio/visual is a candidates response to the question. The 3 options are No-Response, Yay, Nay. This is information about this is processed for consumption

The information is saved in an HL7 styled message. More on this later...

The end result is data can allow anonymous communications between the individual voter and then Candidates, Elected Officials, Medias, Lobbyists.

It is a form of a personal virtual debate forum that enables voter to track response and a personal platform of specific issues with responses.

Objective: Provide a political device to disable unproductive political rhetoric - like obstrsuctionism and confrontationalism. Putting power in the actual/physical hand of "We the People"

Remember this is an imaging of an undiscovered country.

See a mock ups below: 
First a screen scrape from my phone - of Pandora

Then
1) Replace image of Jim Croce Album with a Candidate image
2) Note the functionality and placement of Advertisement for future reference
3) Replace "Time in a Bottle" with a question from a Reporter or a public Debate

Note: Both Republican and Democratic contenders are presented below:
