Are you looking to voice your opinion on how your Congressional delegates vote? Well there is an app for that!
Capitol Bells, an iPhone app, just released a new feature allowing constituents to vote on legislation alongside their representative, in real-time. The app alerts participants when a vote is about to occur, tracks the official vote tallies, and releases information on current legislation.
Created by Ted Henderson, who was a staffer for Democratic Michigan Rep. Dale Kildee, the app was originally intended as a way to help new staffers understand when votes were happening. But, it has developed into a way for the general public to vote as if they were on the House floor.
“The idea is for the constituents to review the legislation and voice their opinion,” Henderson said to msnbc.
At a time when Congress is struggling with an approval rating of 12% and an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows that 57% of Americans want to replace everyone in Congress, this app could also help keep a pose on their constituents.
