The basic idea is that you pick a bill and a representative and state how you'd like them to vote. If they vote the way you want them to, they get the money as a campaign contribution. If they don't, it goes to their next opponent.

Here's the bill to save net neutrality: https://stituency.org/bills/hr4585-115 And here's the current tax bill: https://stituency.org/bills/hr1-115

The site is live and contributions will be delivered.

I'd love feedback on the experience. Particularly, I have a theory that choosing a representative can be overwhelming and I'd like to brainstorm ideas on how to fix that.

I'll be sticking around to answer any questions.

Actually, this team is responsible for both TFS (major releases 1-2 years, minor releases quarterly) and Visual Studio Online which is a hosted service and releases once every three weeks. Pretty much everyone on the team works on both products because they share a very large percentage of their code.
