Where we are and where we are going.
Hello, my name is Phillip, and I’m the creator of this app. The idea was born one day when I tried to contact my congressional representative to discuss a potential bill. Despite my efforts, the only response I received was a generic form email asking for donations. That moment planted the seed for what would eventually become this app.
It’s a harsh reality that a single House member is expected to represent the voices of over 700,000 people. Logically, it’s impossible for them to fully understand how their constituents feel about specific issues. As Gilens and Page noted in Perspectives on Politics, “The preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy.”
This app is here to change that.
Where we are at.
The app is currently in development, with all the basic front-end functionality in place. Users can navigate the key features, and several core back-end functions have already been implemented, providing a solid foundation for the app's essential services. However, there’s still work to be done to complete the back-end development, integrate advanced features, and ensure the platform operates securely and seamlessly.
To accelerate this process, we’re launching a Kickstarter campaign to raise the funds needed to hire additional help. With your support, we can bring on skilled developers to move this project forward and bring the app to life even sooner.
Where we are going.
This app is just the beginning of a larger vision to transform how constituents and their representatives interact. In the near future, we plan to expand the platform to include voting records and engagement tools for state and local officials. This will empower users to stay informed and hold their leaders accountable at every level of government.
Looking further ahead, the app will introduce groundbreaking features to enhance civic engagement. One major addition will allow candidates to participate in live debates hosted directly on the platform. These debates will be unique—questions will come exclusively from constituents, ensuring that the issues discussed are truly representative of voter concerns, without any pre-screening or media influence.
Our goal is to create a space where representative democracy is more transparent, accessible, and responsive to the people it serves.
