An easy way to tweet your senators

I built a quick and dirty MVP app to tweet your Senators efficiently. I mostly did this so that we could minimize the friction on opposing CISPA which has not yet been heard in the Senate. I know I still have to add the House, but mining all their Twitter accounts is going to take longer, and with CISPA's day in Senate so near, I didn't want to delay. http://tweetasenator.com/

An easy way to tweet your senators launched on April 22, 2013 with 10 votes, #119 of 528 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches.

In plain words

This app lets users quickly send tweets to their senators on specific issues, reducing the friction needed to contact elected officials. Built as a minimal viable product, it was created to help people efficiently oppose legislation like CISPA before Senate votes. The tool handles finding senators' Twitter accounts automatically, so users can focus on message content rather than research. While the House of Representatives wasn't yet included at launch, the app prioritized speed over completeness given the urgency of pending Senate action.
