"Open Congress" Tracks Legislative Information

From Robert Ambrogi's LawSites (3/6/2007):

Open Congress, a joint project of the Sunlight Foundation
and the Participatory Politics Foundation, allows you to
track legislative information as well as news reports,
blog posts, campaign contribution information, and other
sources. You can use the site to track a bill, a member of
Congress, a specific issue or to follow the latest develop-
ments on Capitol Hill.

The following sources are tracked by Open Congress:

Thomas (Library of Congress).
News articles about Congress from
Google News.
Blog posts about Congress from
Technorati and Google Blog Search.
Campaign contribution information from
OpenSecrets.org.
