CQ Roll Call Re-Launches Congress.org: A Grassroots Tool to Communicate with Congress
WASHINGTON, March 13, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- CQ Roll Call today announced the re-launch of Congress.org, a grassroots website that allows users to directly contact their Member of Congress. Relying on Capwiz software, users can find their Representatives, compose a letter on the site and have it emailed directly to the Member office.
The updated Congress.org will maintain the Congressional communication and will add a blog featuring up-to-date information about the policy and politics of Capitol Hill. The news feature will draw from both CQ and Roll Call, two respected Capitol Hill publications.
The American Beverage Association is sponsoring the re-launch of Congress.org.
"Our goal is to provide news and information for our readers who want to engage with Congress," said Mike Mills, CQ Roll Call Editorial Director. "By featuring timely and relevant news, our readers can get a sense of the action in Congress. Already, people rely on the site as their primary communication tool for emailing Members of Congress, this is an additional benefit we can provide using CQ Roll Call content."
"Congress.org has a tremendous user base, and we wanted to find a way to better enhance their experience and better serve our users and advertisers," said Mark Walters, SVP and Group Publisher of CQ Roll Call. "The new site has a sleek look and feel for news, while retaining the award-winning Capwiz software that sent over 25 million messages to Congress last year."
