You didn't submit the link to the site, which is the usual method.
You could email the mods -- [email protected] -- and ask them to fix it.

I like it. How are the summaries generated?
Hey! We get the summaries from the GPO (Government Publishing Office) which provides non-partisan summaries for legislation.

We started Polimorphic as college students who were frustrated by how hard it was to stay up to date on politicians who represented us and what the government was doing on issues we cared about. To us the fact that we knew our favorite athletes' stats down to the most granular details, but didn't even know what our local representative had voted on in the past year was shocking.
On Polimorphic you get no-nonsense, untampered political updates on votes, legislation, speeches, press releases, and more all straight from the source. You sign up with your location and top issues and then get access to our newsfeed and our newsletter. Our goal is to make it incredibly easy to stay up to date and give feedback to your government + elected officials.
