Description
Informed American will help you find all congress members and then show you their voting records, bills they sponsored/co-sponsored, who is financing their campaigns and how every member of congress voted on a specific bill. Build watch list of bills, members of congress or committees and see how your representatives are voting before most news outlets. See what bills are in committee, waiting for the House or Senate, got Filibustered, Enacted or just getting introduced. This app uses data from Sunlight Labs, GovTrack and Open Secrets, but none of those organizations endorsed this application.

One of the best strictly fact and information based government/politics apps out there. Decent UI, boasts a plethora of information, and offers the voting public valuable insight into the activities of their representatives.

Incredible app. Provides the kind of ease-of-access to information every citizen should have in a logical and intuitive design. I hope this is available across all platforms, but very glad to see it on Windows Phone. It's a powerful tool for sure.

Excellent app for the informed voter by Robbie
This app makes it easy to find information about your representatives and how they voted on bills. You can then drill down on a bill to see how other members voted on the bill, along with a link to read the bill.

Almost...but not quite by Anon
I like what you are trying to do with this but it would be nice if (1) the old decrepit/defeated were not there after the election and whatnot...John Boehner should not be popping up first thing! Reid is also leaving at the end of the 'lame duck session'. Politicians should be put in their new homes on committees and subcommittees asap. When those assignments haven't been filled yet, just leave a shadow. It also needs to pull in more opensecrets.org material. Also tell us when you plan to do daily update. And it should have the ability to notify us political schizods through Cortana or something XYZ to alert us that a bill we care about is coming up for a vote, etc. Linking a calendar/call/time feature would be pretty royal dude!

Great info on representatives at both the state and federal level. The only improvement I would suggest is to add info about who is up for election and polling data.
