Congress Trackers

Are you interested in tracking a particular bill via email or mobile app? You can do so using GovTrack.us.

According to its website, GovTrack.us was created to "help the public research and track the activities in the U.S. Congress, promoting and innovating government transparency and civic education through novel uses of technology."

GovTrack.us allows you to set up email alerts called "trackers" to follow the status of bills and member votes for both the Senate and the House of Representatives. You can also track activity by subject area. Click here to set up your trackers.

In addition, GovTrack.us also has apps for iPhone, Android and Facebook.
