An app for tracking political promises

November 6, 2010

A new mobile app helps voters keep track of all the promises that politicians made to get elected so that they have some ammo when they run again. The app, My Elected Officials, is $4.99 and available on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. The app streamlines access to congressional voting records, local contact information such as telephone numbers and e-mail addresses, offers push notifications via a "follow" option, video links and breaking news via media resources such as FOX News, CNN, C-SPAN and GovTrack.

My Elected Officials uses a collection of website portals designed to provide legislative tracking information from the Library of Congress’ THOMAS, as well as other automated resource methods and tools.

Grab it from iTunes. Find out more about the game at www.myelectedofficials.com.

So, it's an app that does nothing?

Surprised Apple didn't reject it, given its history of throwing out anything political, sight unseen.

I forsee some broken political promises upcoming if Obama goes through with his statement about kowtowing to the newly elected republicans.
