OpenCongress keeps track of politicians
I’m late to the party on this one, but I think this news is worth repeating.
About a month ago, OpenCongress launched with a stated goal of bringing “together official government information with news and blog coverage to give you the real story behind what’s happening in Congress.”
I’m always thrilled to see people leveraging technology to close the gap between voters and elected officials.
On the other side of the pond, the MySociety project has been doing great work in this area, and we Americans have some catching up to do.
As an added bonus, they built the site in Ruby on Rails. Congrats on the launch!
