Everyone in the country knows who the President is, but do you know your senate members? Do you know who your House Representatives are? What about your local representatives? What is congress voting on today? Many people have no idea what their representatives are doing for them on a daily basis. With For The People you can explore all of your representatives, and know exactly what they are doing for their constituents on a daily basis. Take an active role in your country and community with one easy to access interface.
We’ve been told since we were young to take an active role in our government and contact our representatives if we have a problem or suggestions regarding specific policies. However, very few people actually do this. This application will provide an interface in which citizens can more easily take part in the political process.
