Part of me wants to make a really nice website to shine a spotlight on these corporate shills and track their offenses. Obviously, we can legitimately argue about the merits of some laws and regulations, but others are obvious corporate power grabs that objectively leave us worse off. And to officials who sell us out but are sure to be re-elected, like Marsha Blackburn, she needs to know that there are people who recognize her as a traitor to the interests of the American people.

If something like this existed, with the source code on Github with a detailed contributing.md document, I would spend time on it. We have great tools available to do this and it is a worthy cause.
Best case scenario, it gains attention. Worst case scenario, it gains attention and I drive my car into a tree one night or spontaneously OD.
Worst case scenario, like every tool made to deal with humans on the internet - you live long enough to see it turn against you.

Make no tool you wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of.
