Democracy.io Makes It Easy to Connect With Members of Congress
Each member of Congress has a different (sometimes peculiar) contact form, which makes emailing your representatives more of a hassle than it should be. However, thanks to the new open source EFF site Democracy.io, sending a message to Congress has never been easier.
All you have to do is enter your address and you will receive a list of the members of the Senate and House of Representatives in your area. You can write to everyone at once or select recipients. The contact form has just a few fields for your subject, message, email address, name and phone number, as well as a drop-down list of topics that is required on contact forms for members of Congress.
That’s all. No searching on the websites of your representatives and filling out duplicate forms.
According to the EFF’s Product Hunt post, members of Congress are able to more thoughtfully respond to emails filtered as coming from Democracy.io, and the organization plans to track the timeliness and relevance of responses from members of Congress to hold them accountable. It would be nice.
