Democracy Direct

This is an app for elected representatives and their constituents. The representative can send direct messages and polls to their constituents, and the constituents can vote on bills, set up filters about the issues they are interested in, and send messages back. When the time come for the rep to vote on a bill, everyone sees the outcome and it can be compared with the overall votes of the constituents. Each user also has a scorecard where they can see how good of a match their representative is for the constituent individually and for the district as a whole.
