It allows you to find bills, legislators, committee information on any U.S. representative. You can also contact them – and send them real letters. Get their voting records, FEC records, you name it.

Not sure what to do with it, but I actually find it pretty useful. Java is ugly, but I did what I could with it. Figured I would post since I got a lot of compliments on it.

Usually it will fail on boot after the upgrade. This seemed to help me.  Make sure you are root:

Press ‘M’ for manual rescue. Enter the following in the prompt.


mount -n -o remount,rw /
dpkg --configure -a

Hope this helps someone.
