#122Sounds like an awesome service. Unfortunately, I'm seeing: Error 403 Daily Limit Exceeded. The quota will be reset at midnight Pacific Time (PT). You may monitor your quota usage and adjust limits in the API Console: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/api/civicinfo/quo...
Same.

#123If you like whoaremyrepresentatives, we would love feedback on [Act On This](https://www.actonthis.org/) as well.
We don't go down to as local of a level yet, but are more focused on giving information about specific actions you can take related to issues you care about.
While the current list of issues comes from us, we're on-boarding a couple of non-profits so they can use the tool to help organize volunteers at a state and local level.

#124Actually, this title doesn't do the service justice -- it yields detail clear down to local offices and gives a detail '+' link for each to get details like contact information. For example, this is what is returned for a given, random Sunnyvale, CA address; the lone change I would suggest is to have the county and then city offices listed last to maintain a sequence of decreasing granularity. Note that Sunnyvale is…
If I'm ever pulled over in Sunnyvale (or anywhere) I can do a quick search with this site and then yell at the cop, "I pay your boss, Laurie Smith's salary!" Then it's just a quick jump over to the ACLU's Know Your Rights page... https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights
Good luck with that! The side of the road is no place for yelling at or threatening cops.

#125Cool service. Beware that the Wikipedia links may direct to different people with the same name, particularly for local offices. For example, my Assessor links to a British wartime codebreaker and my Surveyor links to a Kiwi rugby star.

Yes, that's one of our primary data sources. We're working on leaving it, however, because we're also Google-phobes.
That, and you've exceed the request limit and it's only 10am cst
It's an honor. We reached out to Google and they increased our quota.

Forgive my ignorance but why is there a penalty and who is it due to?
There is a penalty for not having a minimum standard of health coverage and it is due to the IRS.
Ah OK thanks. Seems there's a bunch of exceptions for this including https://www.healthcare.gov/exemptions-tool/#/results/2016/de...

#130To everyone posting here: I am a creator of this service. If you'd like to get in contact with us, email secure@politiwatch.org! We're extremely encouraged by all the positive feedback here, and we're glad to provide a service that you all found helpful.
This could use info on when elections for each representative position happens, including primaries if possible.
Something to keep on a calendar.
Just noticed it's also missing local judges.
Also, contact info for government services itself - courts, schools, police depta, etc..
