INTRODUCING 112TH CONGRESS!

President Obama, "Make a phone call, send an email, Tweet. Keep the pressure on Washington."

FEATURED IN iTUNES "CAMPAIGN 2012: TAKE ACTION"

No matter which party you support, you can have every member of Congress in YOUR pocket or on your iPad. Use the app that tens of thousands of people who work on the Hill and with Congress everyday, as well as their constituents have on their iPhones and iPads.

This application offers all of the vital information you need to be an active and informed citizen between elections. Learn all about who represents you in Congress, contact them in Washington, follow their campaigns and challengers, read their Facebook and Twitter pages, and see their YouTube videos. Share any link in the application via email, Facebook, or Twitter.

While this app will be enough for most people, if you need over-the-air updates, separate sections for lists of committees and subcommittees, and well as the ability to share notes with your team, please consider our app CongressPro in the App Store. Congress+ is updated every few months, usually with new content, during the 2011-12 sessions.

Remember, they work on Capitol Hill but they work for you.

REVIEWS

Congress+ has been featured by Apple as a "New and Noteworthy" application (February 2009), a "Staff Favorite" (June 2008, September 2009), and in two other sections, "America the Beautiful" (July 2010) and now in "Campaign 2012" (March 2012). This application, CongressPro, offers the same award-winning design but with more information and over-the-air updates.
