We are constantly amazed at what the questions tell us about the real problems that you so rarely read about in the papers or see on TV. Did you know the mothers of our soldiers in Afghanistan have to send socks and underwear to our troops because of theft by the laundry contractors?

Yoosk users are real people, asking real questions. Help them get answers from public figures by voting for them now. The more votes, the more likely a public figure is to answer when they receive our alerts. And don’t forget to rate the answers- it’s important feedback for the public figures.
