My friend and co-worker Hassan Rage has released his super duper cool Win8 app.  It’s called Informed American and it sells for $1.99.  Ok, now that the business is out of the way, the details…

We are deep into the election process here in the US and this app helps you be an informed voting American citizen.  You can drill down into detailed information on any incumbent and any candidate for national and statewide offices.  We wind up talking smack about politics around the office, it produces this kinda coolness. (this app is all of Hassan's doing, but my big mouth can take credit for some of the inspiration)

You can see basic Name, party affiliation and such, but then so much more.  See where they stand on votes and who donates to their campaigns.  Voting records, bill sponsoring, and so on.

Additionally you can see state-wide measures, such as Colorado’s own Amendment 64 to legalize marijuana and who is supporting it or not.

Some screen shots for you.
