OpenCongress.org

Open Congress

OpenCongress.org is an extremely powerful resource for individuals following congressional activities. It consolidates information on Senators, Representatives, and Legislation in an easily browseable format. You can simply click on your Congressperson for a list of their votes and legislation that they have introduced, and then click on the full text of any particular bill to learn more about it. They also offer RSS feeds at nearly every level of the site, so you can sign up to receive notices of what your Representative is up to, or to track changes in an existing bill. News articles and blog entries are also collected from the web on individual topics. Check out the Barack Obama page to view examples off all of the features described above. The March 9 edition of On The Media features an interview with Micah Sifry, OpenCongress.org's technology director.
