Open Congress

Here is a new website that is going into my collection. It's called OpenCongress.org and it gives you all you need to know about what is going on in Congress. And, not just Congress in general. You can bring up individual representatives and senators, find out what committees they are on, what bills they have sponsored, how they voted, who they voted most with, who they voted least with and much more. You can also search for Bills and learn how Congress operates. On top of all that, the website also has a blog and a forum as well as allowing for comments all over the place. Definitely a website worth bookmarking and checking out every few days. The website is a project of the Sunlight Foundation and the Participatory Politics Foundation.
