This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Salesman from this company will waste an hour of your time, will ask you to fill research form etc. only for purpose to convince you to become a member and pay members fee. I found my research form in the garbage after the salesman left my office. They don't need your opinion - they need only your money. They visit small businesses and explain how it is important to express your opinion via this company and it is the only way to bring information to the congressman. And you have to pay. Then your opinion will be in garbage - it doesn't go to your congressman.

I just had my first encounter. I am an active republican. that means I follow the issues that matter most to me (google trending) and communicate with my representatives at all levels. my concern is that the salesperson seems urgent and drops names to establish rapport. no problem with this, until they start their 3 ring binder, flip the page and manipulate the conversation to get you saying yes and to closing the sale. my practice is never make impulsive decisions. why? just read the unfavorable comments here.
Would they get my time by saying "hey, I am a stay at home mom that failed at selling amway and avon, but I would like to convince you to buy an annual subscription to free information - so that I can take another trip to costa rica!"... I would have simply said, good luck - not interested.

News alert - active citizens are already doing what you hawk for $500 a year! really? to every single person reading this post, when it comes to spending money "always sleep on it!"

Sorry you faced a poor salesperson. The interview is designed to see if you would be a responsible American and even use the service. Neither the salesperson nor the business owner want their time wasted. There is only so much of it in a day. And if you wouldnt use the service there is no point in continuing the conversation anyways. NWYC provides a needed service. Can you get a lot of what they offer for free? Yep. But do you have the time as a business owner to pursue all of that information? That I cant answer for you.

$500 a year is less than 1.40 a day.

Common thread throughout these posts: bad reviews were posted by those who never used the service; good reviews were posted by those who actually did. It's so easy to criticise without benefit of knowledge and experience.

They're extremely biased towards Conservatism. It only takes a cursory glance at their material to realize they're playing to the Lowest Common Denominator.

I just cut the guy off after it became obvious that it was another "non-partisan" organization like the Chamber of Commerce. I did take note of a few business cards in the back of his binder so that I can never do business with those suckers again.

Not true. YOU construed the information the way you wanted to see it. BOTH sides of EVERY issue are provided for perspective. Being involved in YOUR government is not a partisan action. We are ALL entitled to our opinions and ALL entitled to tell OUR elected officials what we think about how they vote.

I agree with you about them being a Republican based, very conservative Political Action Committee. My boss is a bit more radical than conservative Republican. She asked me to join them. I laughed and said loudly; "Are you sure you want a loud-mouthed, MODERATE DEMOCRAT in this group?" The salesman's face said it all. The only want Republicans who believe that they alone have the connection to communicate with our elected officials. You can write to your representatives for free.

W people came in my shop today act like they work for Congress wasted 45 mins of time.now that got me a little ticked off but when I wouldn't give them my check or debt card they got a attitude and took there paper back?why is it so important to keep take back there paper.first of all don't pressure me into buying something.you think I would give a [censor] about immigration reform?Congress will never stop Mexicans from coming here if there will walk a week in desert with a couple gallons of water they do whatever it takes to climb a wall or dig a tunnel to get here.but back on this company that wants to waste small bussiness owners time that is not the way you handle bussiness.walking up when I'm with a customer working on there car and lie to my face.then waste 45 mins of my time to hit me with a 500-3000 Bill.i do not appreciate what you do or what you stand for and if you ever come back to my shop I will be rude when I tell them they get off my property

I am just curious how they wasted 45 minutes of your time when YOU could have ended the interview at any time? I mean they were in YOUR shop?

So basically you just hate America and do not want to participate in the process. Sounds like you are quite a rude person already. They would not have been there 45 minutes if you were not open to them being there 45 minutes.

My name is Jesse and I worked for national write your congressman 6 years ago. this is a great company to work with. granted it has been 6 years I can look back now and see that the opinion ballots that some people say got their sales rep in the door were valid. Every question on those ballots that they send to your Congressman with your name on it concerns the key points to an advancing and active piece of legislation. Every one of those questions they asked back then were either turned into a law or voted down. This is a timely organization that focuses on the key points of active legislation not issues. People don't vote on issues, they vote to hire Representatives. we as a people must join together to let our Representatives know how we feel on legislation in which they will be voting. it's about being active in our legislative process. most people don't do this on their own and even if they do they are simply on their own. I would say the nwyc mission statement is one of the strongest most important missions that any business in this world could have. I challenge everybody to read it.

I notice that the folks who haven't bought believe it a scam because they don't see the value...the ones who have bought find great value and recommend. I am a member these folks who didn't buy but have strong opinions forget the fact that it is a service...busy folks sometimes need a service to make it easier. I could cut my own lawn but to save time I pay for a service. Same principle. Stop being ignorant. This is a great company with a great service for those who would use it.

I had a representative from this company in my office yesterday and he was very polite. He went through his sales pitch and I was very interested. I think our country is in big trouble and if we conservatives do not find a way to speak out in large numbers then we are going to lose this country to the liberals. They own the media. They have already taken over our schools. They try to convince us that all cops are bad and that I am responsible for black peoples problems because I am white. We do need a network like this and many more to help the conservative voices to be heard. I just thought the membership fee was too high. I would have probably signed up if the fees were under $100. I am sure this business has expenses just like the business that I run. I would like to be able to give my opinion to my senator and congressman. I have in the past but it was a lot of work. Maybe they do train their salespeople to get the deposit and close the sale but I also teach my salespeople how to close a sale and I run a 58 year old reputable small business.

Our company has supported them for a few years. We receive mailers from them quite often about the issues before Congress and alot of times I do make the phone call or write.

They are NOT a scam. It is a valuable tool but you have to do YOUR part. No one will do it for you. Their job is to keep us informed.
