This is really clever!

I'd love to extend this to a state-level tool. Specifically for Massachusetts.

It looks like the sunlight foundation only works at the federal level.

Could I generate a JSON representation of the state data and embed it into getLegislators()?

Any step in lowering the barrier to civic activism is a good one. Thanks for building this tool.

Thank you! We needed a tool that could easily allow us to set up campaigns where you could directly tweet your legislators.

In the past 24 hours we have been rallying support for a bill that is hitting the floor in a few hours which was on HN yesterday -> https://shutthebackdoor.net/

We have had over 5000 calls and hope that we can target legislators on Twitter also.

Can I ask how the mapping is done to go from zip code to legislators to Twitter accounts?
