 * I am so excited about this plugin–except I can’t get it to work. Since sunlight
   is transitioning, they advised (on 12/17/16 in Google groups) all new users looking
   for api keys to use their email address as their api key until further notice.
   This doesn’t work with the legisearch plugin. Is there a work around? What can
   I do? Thanks

 * Yes. I am holding back a little on making updates until the transition gets a
   little more final. However, according to the developers the API is accepting 
   _anything_ as an API key (or nothing). So for the plugin to work, I would suggest
   just using any nonsense that fits the rule of 32 hexadecimal characters. For 
   example, 32 0’s:
 * 00000000000000000000000000000000
 * Once they get the key issue fixed, you may need to go in with a real API key.
