Make gem public

http://googlepolitics.blogspot.co.nz/2013/11/civic-information-api-now-connecting-us.html

Now that the version of the Google Civic Information api that this gem relies is public, will you be releasing this gem as open source?

Restyle code to match ruby style guide

Would you be open to restyling the codebase to match https://github.com/styleguide/ruby? I find this corresponds pretty closely to mainstream ruby coding and it helps to have something to refer to when on boarding new team members.

I'm open to doing the work.

Cool, if not. Just close this if you would rather stay with your existing style.
