The Politicus is the first fully functional, politically based user-generated social network. We are dedicated to building a community of political enthusiasts and we encourage our users to aid us in the development of The Politicus. Users have the ability to submit full-length articles, blogs, video and much, much, more.

The mission of The Politicus is to provide an open forum for our users to exchange ideas and opinions. We hope to give our users a broader view of politics through collaboration and understanding.
