Microsoft Townhall
Nick Schaper and Marc Mercuri talk about building America Speaking Out, a website where citizens can vote on political issues. ASO uses the Microsoft TownHall platform, a low-cost framework built on Azure and used by campaigns to build websites to help them keep in touch with their constituency.
 Nick currently serves as director of new media for House Republican Leader John Boehner. As a part of one of the most active and innovative communications teams on Capitol Hill, Nick focuses on developing new ways to expand Boehner's messaging online while assisting other members of the GOP Conference and their staff in executing effective, forward-thinking media strategies. Nick previously served as director of congressional affairs for Adfero Group, where he helped over 100 members and candidates harness the power of contemporary new media tools. Nick is a graduate of the University of Central Florida where he studied Political Science and Computer Science.
