    WTF, this is exactly what has been missing.

    How has it been missing? Chambliss, like almost every other Senator and Representative, already has a webpage with all that information already. This app is just some lame repackaging of his webpage and a call feature.

    Why do I get the feeling if Chambliss was a D, people would love his embrace of technology?

    Because you're an idiot?
