I'm glad this exists. Giving citizens more information on what is going on in Congress and lowering the barrier to entry for citizens to participate is fantastic, and this product seems like it has big ambitions. We have the technology to do this, but we haven't put it together that well. This is a nice start, but the app crashes constantly and the design is a bit antiquated, since it's probably a Phonegap-esque app—but I love the idea. Great summary of bills, and it makes it easy to contact congresspeople.
I love this app! Particularly because (1) it lets me quickly learn the key points for and against a bill and (2) it makes it blissfully easy to send quick notes to my representatives without having to enter my full address every. single. time.
We've been working on this app for a while as the fulfillment of our vision for how to transform politics and governing in the US and we're eager to get feedback. We combine a summarized view into key legislation with the ability to quickly tell your Reps how you think they should vote and then hold them to it.
Please check it out and please let us know what you think.
