Govtrack.us looks like a good resource

On SayUncle’s advice, I’m trying out http://www.govtrack.us/. They seem to scrape the awful user interface over at Library of Congress’ Thomas, and provide (hopefully) permalinks, an RSS feed, a better bill search option, full text (no word count though), and major campaign contributers for the bills’ sponsors.

I’ve just started to check it out, and it looks pretty good. It’s apparently a private effort, and the ads that I’m not seeing are served from Google. I like it already, let’s hope it sticks around.

    Shameless promotion: You might want to try WashingtonWatch.com too. It’s got a little more interactivity and adds the cost of new legislation per person, family, etc., which is something that might help people decide what matters to them. http://www.washingtonwatch.com
