GovTrack.us: Tracking the U.S. Congress
From the website: Transparency in government is key for a healthy democracy. Transparency is achieved through spreading information about government, and making that information accessible to everyday citizens. GovTrack.us — a 2006 Webby Award nominee mentioned in both The New York Times and The Washington Post — fills that role at the federal level by bringing together legislative data from existing government sources and presenting it in a more user-friendly format, and by providing the ability to track legislative events as they happen via email updates and RSS/Atom feeds. GovTrack is unique in providing its services for free and targeting the politically interested, civic-minded average Joe.
Knowledge is essential for a healthy democracy, and information about government should be free and open. In that spirit, all of the raw data that GovTrack collects and organizes is made available for others to reuse to create other projects; that is, to make the same information as useful and accessible as possible.
