It’s a shame it’s closing down
Whoever created this app, hats off to you. I think every single American should have this on their device. Robin Williams once said that he wished that they forced members of Congress to wear jackets with their sponsors on them like they do in NASCAR, this was the closest thing to that available. It seems that every watchdog group out here has been shutting down within the last handful of years, and these apps are becoming less and less available. I hope that the developer of this app will make another version once he graduates college, we need this kind of information.nyquilu4ia
