Caucus info
Great app. Very useful.
The Caucus info is missing.
Congressional Black Caucus, Hispanic Caucus, Blue Dog Caucus, and Women's Caucus.
Please Add!!
Worthless
I regret spending 99c on this completely worthless app. All the info it presents is available on the web. It doesn't provide any additional service worthy of installing it on my phone.
Great
I have the newest iTouch model and the app works great, giving minute-to-minute updates of floor debates, etc. Totally worth getting!
