System tools

Automaticly starts not a good thing. Another app that wants to start at boot. Check permissions. I don't update anything that takes over my phone. If this keeps up I will change to a IPhone..

Good for the politically minded I've had this app since I got my first Droid - it's easy to use and works perfectly. Voting records and sponsored bills are a great way to cut through a candidate's bulls...ahhh...rhetoric.
