About this Applet
Create a Google Docs document that lists the current senators and representatives for a state. When the Android Activity 'Start driving' trigger fires, the applet asks Congress.gov for members_for_state for the state you configure and then creates a Google Docs doc populated with each member's name, chamber, party, Bioguide ID, and profile link.
