Article discussing it here. http://www.theverge.com/2014/12/11/7374 ... itol-bells" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Helps track bills and gives you an opportunity to voice your preference. I haven't used it yet but am looking into it.

Interesting. it doesn't seem to work very well, but does show a couple of bills.

To register on their web site, you have to sign in with Google or Facebook. Not going to happen... The app allows you to enter your address to see bills, but didn't load any votes, and doesn't seem to let me give my opinion. And it didn't save my address.

I'm going to play with it later. Just thought I would throw it out there hoping it was something useful. I wish there was something like it for the State of Texas.

It may end up proving to be another neat idea but not really practical in reality.

I've been using this one for years: https://www.popvox.com/

Here is their bill-tracking link: https://www.popvox.com/bills. It may require membership to view, but in any case, membership is free.
