Given the extreme level of corruption of our current Congressmen, I have absolutely no problem with an app allowing people to harass their representatives into doing the right thing.

Wow- definitely an interesting, and seemingly simple, way to encourage social change. Will this app only be available for the iPhone? Seems that if creating real change was the main goal of creating this app, that it would be available on any different platform-for free. Perhaps it will be that way, I don't know. I just hope that those "scripts" mentioned in the full story aren't dogmatic and/or subjective. Also, this type of simple lobbying could bring about some pretty horrendous (in my opinion) lobbying by conservative think tanks...

That is an AMAZING idea! I know that MOST Reps. and Senators do keep tallies regarding certain bills or pending public policy decisions.

It certainly would have a better effect that voting.

just hope the app is free to all, so little people have a chance too.

It's free, but it's not available for Android or Windows phones. Perhaps it will be soon.
