The Fourth Branch

We follow all of the bills being debated in Congress on a daily basis. We then take the governmental summaries of the bills and put them up for vote on The Fourth Branch website. The first time a user comes onto our website, they sign up for our free service by giving us their address. We then use that address to tell the individual exactly who their Senators and House of Representatives members are, along with the contact information for those representatives. We then let users vote on the bill summaries that are being debated in Congress. Once a user votes on a bill summary and their elected representative's vote on that same bill in Congress, we send the user an email telling them who their elected representatives are, how they voted on the issues presented, and the contact information of their representatives. If there is any discrepancy, users will be able to instantly contact their elected officials and pinpoint exactly what topic they disagree on with their representatives. We are creating a system of transparency and accountability for our government. Users will be able to come onto our website, read summaries of bills, and vote for them in three minutes or less. After users vote, we welcome them to engage in thoughtful discussion with other members of The Fourth Branch community about various legislation. We are creating a time efficient way for every American with an internet connection to participate in their government.
