1. A good site for what?
It looks like Grover's bathtub to me.
(I'd rather bureaucrats wrote the laws than lobbyists and interested industries)

2. Well, looks like a good place to let our Congress Critters
know how we feel - without writing umpteen letters a month.

3. There is an old idea of giving several neighborhoods
to Maryland and reducing the District to basically the Federal corridor - Capitol, Court. Mall White House - something like that. It would help with the representation problem. DC city government is a mess and might benefit. It has never gotten much traction and I don't think it ever will.
