This Week’s Netbook Contest Winners
Mobile Commons provides many ways for citizens to contact their local representatives in the Senate and Congress, as well as the President of the United States.
With Mobile Commons, calls can be initiated via web interface, SMS, or simply by dialing 866-581-7519
Advocacy customers of the Mobile Commons Platform use their software to generate thousands of phone calls to congressional representatives all around the country.
Using mapping data from census.gov, Mobile Commons built an open-source legislative district lookup tool available at http://congress.mcommons.com. Combining this with other government data sources, they maintain an up-to-date address book of almost 20,000 capital and district offices for all federal and state representatives.
