The Accountability extension would be an add-on for Google Chrome and other web browsers that will pop-up once a day when you start your web browser that keeps track of what your representatives, from a local to national level, have voted on recently, what they’re going to be voting on in the near future, and how best to contact them, with relevant links to news stories that pertain to particular issues.<\/p>\n

Finding the news can be hard- where do I go? Do I trust this source? Why aren’t they giving me the sources? What are my representatives actually voting on? Just trying to find the information can be a frustrating and time-consuming process, and with everything we have going on in our day to day lives, it can be difficult to find the time, and it’s easy to simply forget about.<\/p>\n

The Accountability add-on to your web browser would try to simplify that process by giving you a quick-rundown of the facts each day without having to go searching. Now more than ever, access to information is vitally important, and some people, myself included, are feeling outright exhausted from trying to keep up with everything. This add-on would allow you to stay informed on how your representatives are representing you without making you search for anything at all! It could even create reminders for you to contact your representative if you’re busy at the moment, but don’t want to forget.<\/p>\n

The convenience is the most important aspect- there are already websites that keep track of what your representatives vote on, although it is usually at a state\/national level, but what would make this browser add-on unique is that you wouldn’t have to deliberately search for the information- it would be right there, waiting for you when you get on your computer!<\/p>\n
