One tool on the site helps users find their elected officials and send e-mail to them,[1] though in March 2013 that feature was removed without explanation.[2]

Overview

Congress.org states on its website that it is a "nonpartisan news and information website dedicated to encouraging civic participation". It was started by Capitol Advantage, a Virginia firm that provides software and information to clients who wish to influence public policy.[3] Its software products Capwiz and Knowledgis are described by Washington Technology as "online software and services for lobbyists".[4]

In 2008, the Roll Call Group bought Capitol Advantage.[5]

The company, now known as the CQ-Roll Call Group,[6] relaunched the website in 2009 with a focus on advocacy issues and general interest news on Congress.[7]

The site features reporting on grassroots activism and Congressional advocacy groups by Ambreen Ali.[8] It also runs online videos featuring veteran Washington reporter Craig Crawford.[9]

The site has sponsorship from the American Beverage Association, whose members include The Coca-Cola Company, Dr Pepper, Gillette, Kraft Foods, Nestlé and PepsiCo, among others.[10]
