The Autism DadHow this is made
This tool tells people what a bill does and how to reach the lawmakers deciding it. That only works if you can check it. So here is exactly how it is made.
Who writes this
Rob Gorski. One person, in Canton, Ohio. No staff, no agency, no committee.
Where the information comes from
Bill text and status come from official sources: Congress.gov, state legislature sites, and the Federal Register. Analysis of what a bill would do comes from the sources linked on each page, and they are linked so you can check the work.
Every issue page carries the date its facts were last checked against those sources. If that date is old, treat the page as old.
Whether AI is involved
Yes. AI writes the first draft of each plain-language bill summary, working from the bill text and the linked sources. It is instructed to describe what a bill does and the concerns being raised, never to tell you how to vote.
Those drafts go live labeled "DRAFT - not yet verified" so you always know which you are reading. When Rob has reviewed one himself, the label comes off and his name goes on it. So the label is the honest signal: unlabeled means a human checked it, labeled means a machine drafted it and nobody has yet.
AI never decides what gets covered, and it never writes the call scripts or the emails. Those are written by hand.
What this tool does not do
Your address is not stored. It goes once to the U.S. Census geocoder to match you to a district, and that is the end of it.
There is no money in this. No sponsors, no ads, no party, no campaign, no fee.
If something here is wrong
Tell us and we will fix it and say so. Every correction is logged with a date, what was wrong, and what it says now.
