Does your member of Congress vote for you, or for PAC money? Politicians campaign on promises, but they govern through thousands of pages of dense legislative jargon. Redress cuts through the noise of Washington so you can hold your elected officials accountable in minutes a week. Redress translates real federal bills from the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate into direct questions paired with concise, non-partisan bullet points. Swipe right for Yes, left for No, or up to Skip—and instantly see whether your representatives in Congress actually represent you. HOW REDRESS WORKS: • SWIPE ON REAL LEGISLATION: Read plain-English summaries of active and recent federal bills without partisan spin, media bias, or bureaucratic jargon. • UNLOCK YOUR ALIGNMENT SCORECARD: Compare your personal ballot against the official roll-call voting records of your U.S. Representative and both of your U.S. Senators to see your exact percentage match. • FOLLOW THE MONEY: View transparent campaign finance breakdowns showing how much of your representatives' funding comes from Political Action Committees (PACs) versus individual contributors. • REAL-TIME ACCOUNTABILITY ALERTS: Enable custom push notifications for Friday weekly legislative recaps, district voting milestones, and real-time alerts the moment a bill you voted on passes, fails, or receives an official roll-call vote. • SHARE THE RECEIPTS: Generate personalized "Me vs. Politician" scorecards built for social sharing so your community can see whether your delegation sees eye-to-eye with voters. • CONTACT YOUR REPS: Track every bill you have weighed in on and message your members of Congress directly when their votes miss the mark. Built for voters across the entire political spectrum, Redress is designed to make weekly civic engagement effortless, transparent, and grounded entirely in official public records. DATA SOURCES & GOVERNMENT NON-AFFILIATION DISCLAIMER: Redress is an independent, non-partisan civic platform and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or representative of the United States government or any federal, state, or local government entity.
