An app that tells you what position to take on issues seems a little lacking, but the idea here is solid. What I would like to see is the non-partisan version that's dismissed here, a platform for people to objectively highlight what's being debated, which representatives lean to which side, what lobbying groups support them, and links for further reading. Tags like "progressive" and "conservative" could help people filter down to the positions they're interested in, but it's important that people actually know why they're supporting a position.
