With Congress closing up shop for the election, we thought it was a great time to look back on what you had to say since the 112th Congress started back in January 2011. Below are the top 50 bills based on activity on POPVOX. As you can see, having the most activity does not by any means indicate that the bill has the most support.
The top five bills for the 112th were:
1. HR3261 (SOPA) Stop Online Piracy Act
2. HR3035 Mobile Informational Call Act
3. HR2306 Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act
4. S3240 Agriculture Reform, Food, and Jobs Act
5. S968 (PIPA) Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act
