OpenCongress.org

Thanks to ReadWriteWeb (how did I only just start reading this blog?) for bringing to attention OpenCongress.org–this is a great site that pulls together tons of information on the US Congress and offers users a variety of ways to stay up-to-date about their Congressional representatives and all the (probably nefarious) activities going on in Washington. I haven’t had a chance to really delve into the site yet, but on my perusal, I thought, “Now this is the kind of site all that Web 2.0 hoopla is really good for.” It would be a great addition to any Research/Reference Guide on US Politics, methinks.
