Congress in Your Pocket is the leading suite of mobile directories of elected officials and their staff for BlackBerry, iPhone,
and iPod Touch devices. Our goal is to liberate you from the high-cost of the ridiculously heavy Yellow Book or its outdated
spiral-bound sibling. Instead, choose our reasonably-priced electronic directory that is up-to-date and lives on your smartphone.
We encourage you to read the reviews and client list on the right side of this page. Our ongoing research is augmented by the over 36,000 pros and activists
who give us leads on the changing political landscape every day.
Several of our applications (also listed on the right side) are available in multiple versions for the iPhone and one for the BlackBerry.
Please use the chart below to determine which application best fits your needs. Screenshots are available by clicking on the name
of your device on the right.
Special deals are available for Cook Political Report subscribers. Please send us an email and we'll provide discount based on the number of colleagues who will be using the application.
If you are purchasing it only one person, our very competitive prices, with discounts for BlackBerry, are listed below.
