BillTrack50 allows you to rate bills important to you, and then we add up how everyone voted to show you which legislators are helping or hurting your cause. You can keep the information private, or make it public, depending on your goals. Scorecards are easy to create, and we keep them automatically updated for you. We also give you several ways to customize the scorecard and fine tune the scoring, to make sure you’re getting (and sharing) exactly the information you want.
Here’s an example from the Idaho Freedom Foundation which is used in the video.
