Better with two adjustments
I have been using this application almost daily to support different active issues. I would like to be able to call my reps once about multiple issues rather than calling them multiple times. Also it would be nice to have access to all the active issues you find on the website on the mobile app too.

A++++
This app keeps constituents connected to elected officials. And also informs on issues of general and specific interest. The app makes it easy to make your opinion known to elected officials truly the app works for "we the people'. There's no easier way to be a responsible citizen then to use this app. If you don't use it, you're not being responsible

Easy way to advocate daily
I'm so glad Michael Moore told folks about this app! It's easy to use (even for an oldster like me, unused to switching from phone app back to the helpful script). And the team does a great job of choosing issues and updating when needed.
I agree with Llama Shock that being able to organize calls by legislators would be great. However, my congressperson's staff said they prefer one call per issue (my senators' staffers said they'd take messages one multiple issues in one call). It seems to make sense to do what the staffers prefer.

Well organized but a little challenging
I downloaded the app on my phone and I pad both. Then I open the IPad app to get the phone number of the rep I need to call and refer to the text of the suggested message while I make the call in my phone. I am sure this is not the most efficient way to proceed but it helps me get the calls made and stay on track with the points I want to make in the calls.

Great idea, terribly biased
I'm an AP US govt teacher and one of my students introduced me to this app. It's an outstanding idea but the topics are extremely slanted and not something I plan on using with students in the future AT ALL! I don't teach my students to think a specific way. I teach them HOW to think. If you are going to offer topics for people to call on, offer them on both sides of issues or on some pro-conservative issues along with the already listed pro-liberal issues.

Great app, could be better
This organizes a variety of current issues to call your representatives about pretty well, but I would really like to have an option to sort issues by who I need to call. I prefer to call each representative once and be able to list all of my opinions (rather than calling the same senator 13 times in one day about different issues for example). Also, it would be nice to "see all current issues" like you can on the website (also makes it more satisfying to see a history of green check marks as well).

Incredibly easy and helps with anxiety
I love this app and would love a version for local politics. Thank you so much for making it because this political climate can be hell for this who have anxiety but understand the necessary actions. I hope we get more civic apps like these to help us increase Citizen engagement and decrease the psychological distance between us and the government that works for us.

Love it but...
It needs a feature to immediately share your issue after making contact on social media with links to this app because otherwise it is pretty great!!! Makes things clear with background info. Could use a fill in the blank like the website with the correct names/bills. Look forward to using this more often!

please group actions by who to call
I love this idea, but sometimes I am interested in more than one (or all) of the issues. So if I click one and make the calls, sometimes the next one has me calling the same people. That is extremely inefficient. I would so much prefer covering the 2 or 3 (or more) issues with one phone call. Please address and make this app even better! Thanks!

Best of the political activist apps!
This app makes political involvement so easy for those of us not sure what to say or who to call on a particular issue. Like most, I have become increasingly concerned about our government under this new administration and the actions (or inaction) being taken. And like most, I have felt in the past that my singular voice/opinions don't matter. This app changes all that helping each of our voices contribute to having real impact on the political direction of our government. Thank you!
