Recently I've begun work on a new project here with a very simple idea: tell us the issues or keywords that you're interested in, and we'll let you know right away when something happens in state or federal government that you care about.

A straightforward idea, but very powerful. If you're a reporter focusing on immigration, you can know as soon as a state introduces a border control bill. If you're an environmental activist, you can learn right away of all the attempts in Congress to give or take away power to the EPA.
