Given the right circumstances, this has the potential to really straighten out some of the corruption

Ahh. I almost submitted this. Why didn't it show up when I searched for it. Oh well. Yes, this site is amazing!

This seems really promising. I hope it can manage to be neutral and just inform us what's being voted on instead of politicking.

To bad it's completely maintained by the left and democrats,selectively pulling in information off the already available govt, created information sites.Clever propaganda style mash-up with the blessings of Speaker Pelosi.Nice try!

No...skip some BS web site. The Congressional records have always been public. Read the stuff directly and not someone's filtered version.

This site is nothing more than the Left's view of the political world and therefore BIASED. Sorry, but there is no Democracy in a one-sided view.

Cool site. Too bad it wasn't around six years ago, when Congress still mattered. No seriously, this is good stuff.
