Good, but one more feature I’d love to see

I love Countable. It makes it even easier than ResistBot to contact my reps, and it’s nice to have one place to go to browse issues and speak up about things that concern me. My only suggestion is that it would be nice to see the total number of bills I’ve contacted my reps about. It’s great to see more Americans getting involved in the legislative process, which is the way it should be, and I think adding overall stats would be a good way to motivate newer voters and those who aren’t used to reaching out to their congressional representatives to continue exercising their rights. I know I can see the number of issues i follow in settings and my activity feed, but data like the number of bills I’ve voted on and how many times I’ve followed that with a message to my reps — perhaps broken down by category — would be hugely satisfying.

It is a very good app that keeps a person very interested and knowledgeable about what is going on in Washington, Congress and the Executive Branch as well as the Court Systems . My biggest concern is those of the Liberal, Communist and many other people who think one thing or the other. My biggest concern is that you can't write or say anything like disagreeing with a person writing statements and opinions. Again what bothers me about the people is that you can't say anything to have a different opinion with them other that to agree with them and join them in their statements or ideas. No negative statements can be said but to one person because you can't disagree, only agree and or join them in their idea. Just a simple stroke of the pen to disagree ( even if you could not say so, a mark or an X would be nice instead of showing agreement) on their opinion. There are WAY TOO MANY DISAGREEABLE PEOPLE ON THE SITE.

Countable is invaluable!

If you want things to change and improve in this country, you have to know what is going on politically. This app really helps.Countable provides a daily update on the issues coming up in the Congress and elsewhere in the government, put together by ab excellent team of people familiar with the legislative process. It summarizes often complicated legislation in clear, easily understandable terms, gives reasons for and against support that legislation, has a section that gives more details if one wants them, and a part that keeps you updated on the process. You can comment on it, snd your comment can be both posted to the discussion and sent to your Congressional Representatives and Senators (in a formal letter) if you select that. I use it daily, and have introduced many friends to it as well, who find it just as useful as I do.

First, I like Countable because it is an easy way to keep track of the legislation currently being acted upon in our government. Recently, Countable changed my ‘Representative’ based on who knows what information, and it is incorrect. I have double-checked my address and profile information, but Countable apparently wants to put me in a different legislative district (please not it was changed after the new session and was correct, and then changed again and is incorrect). I am guessing this is an algorithmic glitch? I love the summaries of the arguments for yay or nay, but I wish some folk would read them (ie I note people ‘vote’ the wrong way on the website/app based on their commentary). Perhaps a moderator? Finally, I love being able to contact my representatives, and have had both personal and automated replies dependent upon the thoughtfulness of the message and the representative. However, see my first comment for the accuracy of this information.
