Take you partisanship shopping...

Via The Week:

If the thought of buying a product that might benefit a political party you can't stand makes you recoil in horror, the BuyPartisan app is for you.
The goal of this free app is to let people find out more information about the brands they purchase and the ideologies of their leaders and employees. After downloading the app, a user just has to scan a bar code using their phone's camera, and then wait for the information to pop up: the number in red is for contributions to the Republican Party, blue for the Democratic Party, and green for others.

Obama campaign releases Democrat stalking app

Are they insane?

Via Propublica:

Curious how many Democrats live on your block? Just download the Obama campaign’s new mobile app.
The app, released last week, includes a Google map for canvassers that recognizes your current location and marks nearby Democratic households with small blue flags.

For each targeted address, the app displays the first name, age and gender of the voter or voters who live there: “Lori C., 58 F, Democrat.”

All this is public information, which campaigns have long given to volunteers. But you no longer have to schedule a visit to a field office and wait for a staffer to hand you a clipboard and a printed-out list of addresses.

With the Obama app, getting a glimpse of your neighbor’s political affiliation can take seconds.

So you haven't learned to like Obamacare yet? There is an app to help you with that...

Seriously?

Drew –

On March 23rd, 2010 — almost two years ago — President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law, putting access to quality health care within reach of nearly every American.
Ever wondered exactly what the Affordable Care Act does for you?

Check out our new health care app – and make sure to pass it on to everyone you know who’s asked what this law really means for them:
