A friendly suggestion for a site that doesn't require registration to keep track on bills and votes: http://thomas.loc.gov/

Hi NORK,
Thanks for this fine reference. I have added it to the permanent Side Bar links.
Additionally, it reminds me of the great Library of Congress WEB Capture exercise, on which I shall Post a new entry shortly.

Nork , Thomas is the best site but people have to enter stuff to find out anything.
Mega Vote automaticly sends voting info via E-Mail once someone registers . Just easier for people I think. Mike
