You care. But the system makes it hard.

No time to research

Finding who represents you, what level of government handles the issue, and how to contact them takes forever.

Don't know what to say

Writing a letter to an elected official feels intimidating. You're not an expert. What if you say the wrong thing?

Tab gets closed

The moment passes. You move on. Nothing happens. Your voice goes unheard, even though you cared enough to read the article.

The problem isn't that you don't care. It's that the gap between caring and acting is too wide.

From reading to action in four steps

GovPal bridges the gap between caring and doing. No research, no writing from scratch, no guessing.

Click GovPal

One click on the bookmarklet. GovPal summarizes the article, identifies your reps, and drafts a letter.

Your message goes directly to your representative. Your voice is now on record.

Why GovPal works

We remove every friction point between reading and acting, while keeping you in complete control.

No research required

GovPal automatically identifies the right level of government and your specific representatives based on the article and your location.

No writing anxiety

Your letter is drafted for you — clear, respectful, and tied directly to the news you just read. Edit as much or as little as you want.

Under 2 minutes

The entire process — from clicking the bookmarklet to sending your letter — takes less time than reading another article.

Your voice, on record

Every message counts. Representatives track constituent contact. Your letter becomes part of the public conversation.

Not a template blast

Your letter is unique to you and the article you read. Representatives can tell the difference between form letters and genuine constituent contact.

Always in control

You review and approve every word before it's sent. GovPal drafts suggestions — you decide what your message says.

Built on trust and transparency

Civic participation requires trust. Here's exactly how GovPal protects yours.

Non-partisan

GovPal helps you contact your representatives regardless of their party or yours. We don't take sides — we help you be heard.

You approve everything

Nothing is sent without your explicit review and approval. You see exactly what will be sent and can edit every word.

Privacy-first

We don't sell your data. We don't share your information with third parties. Your civic participation stays between you and your representatives.

Real representatives

Your messages go to actual government contact systems. These are the same channels used by all constituents.

Your voice, not ours

GovPal doesn't speak for you. We help you speak for yourself. The message is yours, based on the article you chose to engage with.

Our Promise

"GovPal exists to make civic participation accessible to everyone. We believe democracy works better when more people participate. We will never compromise your privacy or manipulate your voice."
