Great idea. Couple of notes (I am running Chrome on Mac)
- You have a drop shadow on the main content. However, it does not show up on the bottom, only the top and side.
-on http://www.votetocracy.com/outcomes.html, the checkmark icons are overlapping the font
- You button text is being cut off
- Is there a reason why you need my entire personal information (address, zip code)
Other than some css fixes, looks good.

Thanks - I'll look into the css stuff. Yes - we need the personal info to look up your representatives. I guess we could make that more clear. Actually - we used to ask more info. Things like profession, ethnicity etc. It helps us when reporting aggregate data. No one really complained - we just took it out for the moment until we redo some other things.
I wonder why this did not show up on the ask part of the site? It was submitted without a url.

Votetocracy is a site where citizens vote on bills in congress and send votes to their reps. Citizen's votes are tallied against the votes of Congress and displayed as agreements or disagreements.
We are looking for feedback on usability: Can you find bills that you would be interested in?
Feedback on: The concept. Are you interested in politics enough to vote on these bills? If your not interested in politics - but are interested in decisions congress makes that effect your life - would you vote on bills?
The business model will not be revealed until version 2 so we are not really looking for feedback on that aspect.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
