Political GPS has come to the point, I believe, where it really puts an amazing amount of info in your pocket, and so I'm sharing it with this forum For me, the ability to view the full text of any bill in Congress makes Political GPS the most useful. There's a lot of talk about the health care bills, for example, and rumors abound about the contents of each bill. If you have Political GPS, you can quickly go to a particular section of any bill, verifying or shooting down each rumor, one at a time.
There's a lot of misinformation out there, coming from all political sides and sources, and nothing speaks more truthfully than what's actually happening in Congress. Come election time, incumbent candidates will inevitably speak of their own merits, and their words may sound good by themselves, but nothing speaks louder than their own actions - their roll call voting records in Congress.
Political GPS allows you to view all roll call votes for any member, back 6 years. You can also speak your mind, contacting your representatives by email or phone.
Finding the representatives or senators that you're interested in is easy, as well. You can search by state, name, or district zip code, or you can select a member from a list of House and Senate members, organized by state in alphabetical order.
With the Political GPS test, those users that are new to politics can also get into the arena. No test results are wrong or right, correct or incorrect. My purpose is just to show users their own position so that they can know where to start. Many users already have an idea of where they stand, but even for them, the GPS test is still a fun thing to show friends.
Anyway, if you're interested in reading more, you can go to my website, www.thomashuntington.com and view screenshots + a video demo. There's also a link to the App store page in my signature.
