Govit community build page.

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

    1. Confirm that emails are sent to representatives

      I never get a confirmation when i send an email to my representatives. I would feel a lot better if it was confirmed so I know it was sent.

            • don't show current vote tally before I get to vote

              I think it would be better to just show the legislation headline with a simple yes / no voting option rather than include the current yes / no tally of those who have already voted. Seeing those numbers will influence, even if only subtly, the actions of those who vote.

              • Write/sponsor a Bill that Repeals Congressmen getting full pay for life after serving only 1-term.

                Our military persons get 1/2 base pay as retirement after serving 20 years. Congress votes theirselves full base pay after 1-term. Shame on you - do something about this criminal act - sponsor a bill repealing this travesty of justice.

                      • Allow us to direct the e-mail congress persons other than our own. Like the heads of committees.

                        The default auto selection for our mail is good, but sometimes the mail should also be sent to various committe members to get the point to the right audience.

                        • Let users write their own bills

                          Let users write their own bills and submit them for support by others on a separate section of the site. Maybe 2 or 3 supported bills per user (similar to how uservoice works) and bills would be "promoted" if they reach a certain level, so that they could be suggested to representatives, and everyone could vote on them normally.
