Put Me In Touch with Democracy!
From the Sunlight Foundation:
Boing Boing highlights CommitteeCaller.com, a new app that allows people to easily call an entire congressional committee to express their views. Consider it speed dial for congressional committee members. The site was built by Fred Benenson, a master's degree student at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, as a final project for a class he was taking this fall. . .. . . This is how it works: Go to CommitteeCaller.com and select a committee. Then enter your phone number and click "Put me in touch with democracy!" The site's software will call you and patch the call through to the front office of each member of that committee. Easy as that! And there's no fee. The site also allows users to rate the responsiveness of each office. CommitteeCaller.com will compile this information and grade the responsiveness of each member to the public.
