The House of Representatives may vote as soon as tomorrow to jettison rules that would have stopped internet service providers from selling your browsing history. Next week, the Senate is expected to vote on Neil Gorsuch's nomination to the Supreme Court. Congress wrestles with a new budget soon.

These vital decisions almost certainly affect you. If you want your voice heard, the best way of ensuring your representatives listen, short of meeting them in person, is to call them.

But congressional phone lines are often busy. Voicemail is often full. You might spend ages on hold, or keep calling back until overwhelmed congressional staffers clear clogged inboxes.

A new app called Stance helps overcome these democracy-hindering headaches. It lets you record messages for your elected representatives, then delivers them at night when phone lines aren't so busy. And it keeps calling back until it delivers your message. You don't even have to deal with navigating a phone tree.
