Make your voices heard, and your vote actually matter! See if your representatives are voting with you or against you in the app "Hear Ye"
This app shows users how their fellow citizens (anonymously) are voting compared to their representative. A lot of the times, it's the opposite of the constituents'.
For example, in Michigan, located in the middle of the Great Lakes which contains 21% of the world's surface fresh water by volume, many Republican-dominated districts are environmentalists unlike the rest of the party, yet their representatives vote for the construction of an oil pipeline literally in the freshwater lake.

Most Congressmen only vote with their parties so that they can have enough funding and a salary for another election. Gone are the days of bipartisanship to the point that Congressmen on both sides of the aisle don't talk to each other without being called "traitors" instead of "pals." Today, there's an absolute need for just a TINY bit of bipartisanship that has been forgotten since the '90s; you'll see retired Congressmen wish for bipartisanship to return without actually committing to it themselves.
So let's make them commit to it with our votes.
This app is still in development.
Copy .template.env to a .env file:
cp .template.env .envWe use React Native to build this because Andrew wanted to learn it and didn't have the resources to keep this developing.
If you use nvm, run nvm use. Then:
npm install --production=false- Start metro:
npm run start npm run androidornpm run ios- To use the hot-reload, just head back to the simulator. Make sure Metro is running.
If you're using Webstorm, follow this guide for linting
with prettier automatically on every
save: https://prettier.io/docs/en/webstorm.html. You can
also manually lint via npm run lint.
Created on 26 April 2021 by Andrew Chen Wang. I'm going to be happy if Congressmen start saying "haha sucka. I ain't gettin' rolled today." Ahh wishful thinking... Can you imagine like a leader of a party standing right behind you saying "you ain voting for the other side right? Hope not..." with like a grim face and deadly stare... No devil horns; just blankly staring into the universe. The lack of attention from the eye to yours and more from the eye to the ballot box is worse if you think about it.
