No matter which party you support, you can have every member of Congress in YOUR pocket or on your iPad. Use the app that tens of thousands of people who work on the Hill and with Congress everyday, as well as their constituents have on their iPhones and iPads.
This application offers all of the vital information you need to be an active and informed citizen between elections. Learn all about who represents you in Congress, contact them in Washington, follow their campaigns and challengers, read their Facebook and Twitter pages, and see their YouTube videos. Share any link in the application via email, Facebook, or Twitter.
While this app will be enough for most people, if you need over-the-air updates, separate sections for lists of committees and subcommittees, and well as the ability to share notes with your team, please consider our app CongressPro in the App Store. Congress+ is updated every few months, usually with new content, during the 2011-12 sessions.
Remember, they work on Capitol Hill but they work for you.

DO NOT BUY THIS APP
Very Resourceful Legislative App
This app is a collection of lots of very useful legislative information - while it is true, much of this can be found on the web for free, what makes this App worth the money is it consolidates the critical information that you need if you are advocating or working on The Hill or trying to contact your Senator or Representative when you are away from you desktop -- which is most of the time for most of us these days. :-)
$4.99 is very small price to pay for having all this information at your disposal on an iPhone or iPad.
I should also voice my opinion about the customer service -- it is simply incredible! I had an email exchange with the CEO / Founder / Chief Customer Service Guru and I was blown away with the response time over the weekend. Mike Cohen cares greatly about his customers and their experience with his products……this alone is worth money.
If you need information regarding Congress, this app is for you.
Great advocacy tool
This is a great app. I am a lobbyist and use it on the Hill all the time -- checking District maps, senior staff emails, bio. Highly recommend...
