Tracking Congress can be a serious headache. With so many bills and votes in play, it’s difficult to figure out which ones are significant and which ones… aren’t so much.

OpenCongress.org has a new proposal to make it easier than ever to track your interests in Congress. We’ve submitted it to the NetSquared competition, in which the top projects receive up to $100,000 in prize money. Please support OpenCongress by voting today!

Voting has been extended until Monday, March 24th, at 5pm Pacific Time.  You can download the PDF guide for voting here, but its not that complicated.
