I like the idea, but think I'd need more users before I could attract the attention of senators/aides/other.

Congress members have their websites, email list of their supporters, would need to offer something they didn't have.

Just an idea, but you could whitebox the software and sell it to congresspeople to use on their websites. You are right that without the traction they may not want to affiliate themselves with you, but they still want the functionality. Technically other voting software may fulfill requirements but people always like specialized and you are already in this space and would be considered an "authority".

Agreed, thats what i was thinking as well.
