Description

e-PaperTrail was designed to cut through the overwhelming amount of government data and bring you a clean presentation of the most relevant information. The votes on the latest legislation and the words of your representatives from the floors of the House and the Senate are organized for you in a friendly, connected, and interactive interface.

e-PaperTrail is:

  • Connected to your network. Facebook Connect allows you to share your comments on speeches and acts of legislation with your personal network of friends.

  • Accessible on the go. Mobile text alerts keep you informed of when your representatives are making major decisions, with the results accessible from any Internet-connected phone.

  • Fun to play with. It engages you with beautiful and interactive information graphics that make you want to learn more and dive into the details.

e-PaperTrail gives you access to:

  • The latest vote results from the House and the Senate highlighting the positions of your representatives.

  • The latest floor speeches from your representatives from the Congressional Record.

  • A comparison between any two representatives’ voting records and their parties

  • Clean profile pages for each representative with contact information and access to all their related actions in Congress- speeches, votes, and sponsored legislation.
