For those of you that have an iPhone or iPod touch, I've written a great app for following US political developments, Political GPS. It costs 99 cents and is available in the iTunes App Store here: iTunes Store

You can watch a demo here: [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VydzxrJZl4"]YouTube- Demo of Political GPS 1.2[/ame]


Here are some of its features:

Congressional Features:
-Detailed voting records for all members of the US Congress
-Drill into each vote, viewing full text of any bill, sponsors and cosponsors, and a history of actions. See below.
-Search for Congressional legislation by topic, bill title, type, session, and bill number
-All bills for the past 6 years
-View Full Text of any bill, whether it is 1 page long, or 2000 pages long, organized logically by Sections, titles, Amendments, Articles, etc. This isn't just one huge blob of text for you to try to pick through. You can easily jump from one part of the bill to the other.
-Official CRS Summary for every bill, as well
-Sponsors and cosponsors of every bill, as well as past actions, such as votes or debates
-Contact any member of Congress by Phone or Email; Follow members with accounts on Twitter; View all members' websites without quitting Political GPS

All Congressional information is updated dynamically each time that you run the app. No waiting for an update from me to get the latest bills and developments

Political GPS Test:
-Find out where you stand in the world of politics, or test your friends if you already know
-Respond to 30 statements from all political viewpoints, indicating your level of support for each statement
-Based on your unique pattern of responses, Political GPS will show you exactly where you stand, and which well-known politicians your beliefs place you near by.
-Share results on Twitter, Facebook, or by Email

Historical Document Reader / Study View
-Read the US Constitution with ease
-Organized by Articles, Sections, and Amendments

--------------

Political GPS is up to date every time that you use it, because it dynamically fetches the latest information. If members of Congress just voted on a new bill, their votes will show up in Political GPS, and you will be able to view them. Again, there is a full text, verbatim, copy of every legislative bill from the past 6 years, whether 1 page or 2000 pages long.

The sheer amount of information in this app is amazing, and all for 99 cents. To view screenshots, a video demo, or to read more, you can visit my website, www.thomashuntington.com.
