Sunlight is building a pocket Congress for your Android phone. Taking advantage of the Sunlight Labs API, you can learn more about your representatives and senators, read about them in the news, and even read and reply to them on Twitter. You can search for your legislators using your GPS, or by a zip code or name.
As with our web apps, this Android app is an open source project and we love contributions. Check out the source code on Github to see how to set it up on your machine for development and play around.
If you don't want to set up the SDK, one of the links below is to a development version of the app that is generally up to date with the trunk. Feel free to test it out and report any bugs to the Github Issues page for the project.
