Once again, another useful resource from the Sunlight Foundation. It's easy to see how this app could easily be fee-based but, via the Sunlight Foundation, the app is free.
Word of a new iPhone app from Sunlight Labs/Foundation named Real Time Congress.
We want to make data about what's happening inside Congress more available to the public. It isn't just who your member of Congress is that matters, but also what they do. It's also important to see what they're reading and who they're listening to, and what the process looks like.
Our new app, Real Time Congress does just that for the iPhone. It doesn't care so much about who your rep is as it does what they do. Inside the app you can follow live floor proceedings of both chambers of Congress. You can get leaked CRS reports to see what your representatives are reading on the hill, and if you're on Capitol Hill (or just an avid C-SPAN viewer), you can get a schedule of upcoming hearings from the House and the Senate.
Note: The CRS Reports listed are just some of what's available sources like OpenCRS. Remember, the report you're reading might not be the most current version of the report available. Be careful. That said, it's still great to have some CRS reports iPhone ready.
