If anyone from The Repair Association is reading, there are a bunch of issues with the website. It sends me to https://tennessee.repair.org/ https://tennessee.repair.org/ , which has a broken iframe for the "Make your voice heard" section. Fortunately the "Tell your repair story" section seems to also handle contacting representatives, except it auto-fills to what seems to be the wrong bill. It tells them I want them to support SB0077, which "As introduced, extends the medical cannabis commission to June 30, 2029" (I don't know enough about it to know if I actually do support this or not), instead of SB0499, which "As introduced, enacts the "Agricultural Right to Repair Act." The header of the page has correct bills for last year.

Thanks for the feedback! Fellow Tennessean here so I'm a bit embarrassed. I fixed the Make your voice heard embed (we removed a CallPower integration). I'm working on fixing the letter now. We built this tech when having five or six states with bills was exciting. Now, 50 states times two chambers times sometimes two or three bills has become a whole thing to keep track of it all. Keeping all of these bills up to date across 50 states that change every year is quite the project. It's a pretty manual process right now, alas. I'd love to automate it. Everyone else: please thread any bill year mismatch / other issues you find here, and I'll fix them!

  I think there's still a mismatch for TN, it looks like SB0499/HB0432 is the version of the bill for the current legislative session (the pre-filled subject line already mentions "H432"). https://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/Default.aspx?BillNumber=SB0499 https://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/Default.aspx?BillN... https://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/Default.aspx?BillNumber=HB0432 https://wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/BillInfo/Default.aspx?BillN... I don't know how your site's infrastructure works, but would it be possible to have some way we could submit something like a pull request to contribute easier? It would be no trouble for me if it made it easier for you.
