Tracking and Sharing Tools

Here are some other ways you can track Congress, share your views on bills, and enhance your webpage with congressional information.

Mobile Applications

Congress app for Android phones by the Sunlight Foundation.

Congress111 app for the iPhone, by Mike Bluestein, has a variety of information on Members of Congress, based in part on GovTrack's database.

Real Time Congress for the iPhone, by Sunlight Foundation, taps into a variety of Congress-related feeds, including GovTrack Insider articles. It uses some data from GovTrack's database.

Facebook Applications

Laws I Like, by Chris Poliquin, lets you search for bills, vote on them, and then post your votes to your profile to tell your friends what they should get their Members of Congress to support or oppose. You can also see what bills your friends have voted on.

RepresentedBy, by Will Turnage, lets you post to your profile a box with who represents you in Congress, shows the latest bills and news related to them. You can also challenge your friends to see if they know their Members of Congress.

These Facebook apps weren't created by GovTrack but rely on the open database of congressional information we put together here at GovTrack.
