Excellent thread with good discussions; I love this Forum! I just wanted to let you all know about a excellent program that you can download on a Android Phone, and I'm not sure if you can get it on a computer or not, but it is called, "Congress", by Sunlight Labs (free), do a search for it on the Market on your Cell Phone. It is a must-have for anybody wanted to be kept abreast of any bills introduced and keeping track of them. It does so many other things too, like keeping track of "Tweets" by your Representatives. You can do searches for bills and laws and what their status is. It has a Notification feature so that when a bill is introduced, and other options you selected, you get an email letting you know. It also makes it easier to contact Government Officials. I love this program and just thought it was fitting to share with all my friends in this thread.
Doesn't work at the state level
If the beta for OKGovTracker goes well this year, I might do an Android app for it. If the funds are available, I might hire someone to do an iPhone or iPad app.
