Help C'est Vrai raise $300,000 in initial capital
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Louis Flores. I have developed a computer-assisted journalism app called C'est Vrai.
On Sept. 3, C'est Vrai was opened for subscription to journalists and freelance reporters by invitation only. Next week, we will create a waiting list that we will open to the public.
A responsive Web application that is powered by a database, C'est Vrai focuses on relationships between individuals or entities attempting to influence Government. The collection and presentation of this information helps journalists write and edit articles about the role of money in politics. C'est Vrai also educates the public about civics. Various tools exist solely for subscribers. Nevertheless, substantial information is publicly released on the C'est Vrai Web site to improve Government transparency.
- Les Actualités. This is a section, which lists Significant Government officials and special interests, who are making news. Since C'est Vrai is in active development, names may appear as data is being compiled. However, only a select few entries will yield basic information that will be presented on a Dashboard.
- Des fonctionnaires quotidien. This index page provides an example of some of the advanced network analysis that is made possible with C'est Vrai. The entry can change from time to time, but, initially, the focus of this advanced preview will be Mayor Eric Adams (D-New York City).
- Fact Check. The Daily Démêler is a tool of C'est Vrai, which dispells the most recent 'fake news' being spread by corporate or biased news media. We disentangle wild claims about elections, the economy, healthcare, politics, and other issues -- and we tell you if the claims are true or not.
The money we are raising will fund initial start-up expenses for a period of approx. six months. We have to pay approx. $35,000 for a software patent application. We have to reïncorporate as a stand-alone entity, separate from our current corporate sponsor. We must recruit and pay for staff and marketing expenses.
C'est Vrai is coming online at a critical time in our Nation's history : When Government oversight is failing, and the job of scrutiny is being abdicated by a corporate-owned press that largely operate on a pretexte of access over accountability.
C'est Vrai is already preserving information that Mayor Eric Adams has purged from the Internet (the identity and roles of his transitition committees). With your help, we can help journalists and freelance reporters keep Government accountable.
Government transparency is the basis for informed consent by its citizens, and C'est Vrai will go far to open data journalism to freelance writers.

Thank you,
