To be honest, it was the Orlando shootings. It's easy to feel helpless in the aftermath of situations like these, where something's so absolutely broken in our country and we can't do anything about it. I believe in our representative democracy, and after reading about how representatives review communications from their constituents, I concluded that even a single phone call to a Congressperson can create marginal change. It's not much, but if I believe strongly in something, the least I can do is take action to back it up. I created this app because even though it's very easy to look up your senator's phone numbers, the friction is still too high - you need to find the site, enter your information, and place 4 separate phone calls. Instead of doing all that, I'd rather just store this number in my phone, knowing that I can reach all my senators and representatives with one tap.
