Minimal viable product for the people, by the people

With the recent passing of the NDAA bill and SOPA making it's way through the House, our civil liberties are eroding away.

In order to change direction, we need to start at the local and state level. Most people don't even know who their state representatives are.

If there was an easy way to be notified when your representatives were signing a bill, giving a speech, or anything related to "representing you" - in which they go against civil liberties, wouldn't you like to know about it? And be given a way to respond as a group?

What I need is a Minimal Viable Product to see if enough people would sign up for something like that.

It would be similar to http://www.codeyear.com

The MVP should just be a simple landing page, and only specifically for San Francisco. It would just contain an email input form and some wording such as:

----------------- Want to be notified when your representatives do something that goes against civil liberties? Enter your email and we will send you the most important alerts, no more than once per week.

---------- That's terrible copy, but you get the point.

Is anyone interested in testing this MVP out?
