Direct Democracy was created to let constituents light a fire under their representatives. It serves as a platform for asking important political questions and taking stances on issues that you care about. A user can agree with an existing stance on an issue, or create a new one. Each issue, user, and congressional district has data visualization that plots the most prevalent views, importance of the issues, and more.
