Congress

A pocket Congress - track elected officials, read the latest bills and laws.

Keep on top of Congress.

* Find your representatives, see how they vote
* See what bills are coming up for a vote next
* Search for bills and votes you should know about
* Stay on top of floor activity, committee hearings
* Be notified of just about everything

Answers to common questions:

* Lawmakers don't have public email addresses.
* The app uses location only to find your local representative.
* It does not do anything on boot unless you enable notifications.
* The app cannot be moved to the SD card, because it uses background services for notifications.

This app is open source:

Coarse GPS is perfectly adequate for determining congressperson. Uninstalling because FINE GPS is not a legitimate function for this kind of app. I liked everything else in this app, but am uninstalling due to security.

Lots of information at your fingertips, makes it easy to track what Congress is up to. I wish I could sort and filter news items or at least mark them read.

Informative, useful features, easy to use, and works well. Like c-span for my phone only way better since it's interactive, I choose the content.
