Thanks
Thank you for offering an awesome app that allows people to find their representatives information easily and readily contact them. I would like to suggest to look into utilizing the Sunlight Foundations’ data to possibly incorporate their voting history and campaign finances into a similar app? I always wanted an app like this to be available to people and now I guess I found it. Thanks again! PS. I wish I could also suggest links/information that is missing from certain officials pages like their social media accounts and websites. PPS - I’m a pretty conservative person and can realize that a community driven app like this is simply going to reflect the interests of those who choose to contribute. The most helpful part of this app is simply the geolocation god representatives and contact info presented in a simple way.

Start of something truly great
This is absolutely what America needs right now; a simple tool that helps you reach your lawmakers. We have become far too complacent and have let our institutions become stagnant, while also leaving them vulnerable to influence from moneyed forces. You might not agree with the positions taken by most of the content supporters who are offering scripts. Great! That’s exactly the point; GET INVOLVED. Write your own scripts, encourage your group to submit theirs, just DO SOMETHING. If you just one-starred this app and did nothing else, you are contributing to the problem of a do-nothing America. This is a truly great, simple tool in its infancy that can lead to something much greater. Freedom isn’t free, but this app is. Get it, and start calling!

Ignore the 1-star reviews
Great app that allows easy access to your representative’s contact information and nice scripts to follow if you want something to follow while contacting them. I had to put my address in manually, as the automatic lookup using my phone’s location didn’t work, but after that hiccup it was smooth sailing. The 1-star reviews are extremely misguided and as of this review are outdated as the tea party patriots have a call to action on the app now. I’m extremely liberal, so while I hope that the viewpoints expressed within the app continue to expand I also hope the level of education shown by some of these conservative reviewers aren’t indicative of my future experience using this app.
