Apple Thoughts: Keep Up With Congress!

"You cast your ballot in November, but your job as a citizen isn't finished. Now that 111th Congress is in session, it's the responsibility of every American to keep tabs on their elected officials - and since this is the 21st Century, why not use your smartphone to do it?"

Simple app on the surface, but seems to be pretty effective in what it says it will do. Input your email, zip code and state and it gives you a list of your Senators and Representatives, along with contact information for them and how they have been voting. It even gives you the option to input your stance on issues and see how it compares to those in office. If you are interested at all in politics, this seems like an app that might be useful, especially since it makes it so easy to shoot off an email to your Senator or Representative, or all of them at once. Best of all it is free!
