Congress, Who Is? #23
Description
About the group and project
Congress, who is? Is a Civic Tech project.
This is for now a one person project and I am looking forward to open source it. The code was written in 2 and a half weeks and I really want to make people held their politicians accountable. Right now is just a Congress browser with a call button to call the representative over the browser. But I want to be able to show Bills, who voted for what, etc.

Who we're looking for
I am looking for people that want to make people political aware and help show make them pay attention to their responsibilities. A UX designer would be quite helpful since I did it with my developer skills and did the best I could from someone that usually only does Backend and Databases. Also someone good with ops. And someone to help me write the proper testing that it should have in there.
