No, this isn’t talking about the way the iPhone App Store works….
Found via Reason, The Prometheus Institute has created DIY Democracy for the iPhone. App Store Link.
It’s actually a really cool idea. The only problem with the app is it’s currently California-centric. First thing the app does is ask for your location, but apart from that I can’t see what it really does that’s location-specific. Still, I’d like to think this is just a 1.0 thus the support is limited. I mean, coming up with the database of all the representatives and laws of all possible US (and global?) geographical areas is a monumental task. So I’d like to hope that as updates are released they’ll be adding support for more areas and that geographic selection will eventually be useful.
As well, in the areas discussing many rights, I noticed a distinct lack of discussion about the right to bear arms. I’m not going to read too much into it just yet, but I have inquired.

Oddly I’ve got a meeting scheduled next week to brainstorm about iPhone and mobile apps in general for the state. It’s on our agenda, so to speak, to get some Texas centric apps out there.
Well, you already started the BBQ thing. IMHO something with that would be fun. Not sure how much money would be in it, but it’d still be fun.
“Texas BBQ? There’s an app for that.”
forgot to subscribe to comment thread. doh!
There’s no link at either iTunes or the Apps Store.
Hrm. Checking it now, it seems to be working. No problems.
However, I did notice when I just checked that the name of the app was different, now saying “California Edition”. Maybe it was taken offline briefly to rename it. I’d say try again.
