For DUers who like to follow Congress/legislation, etc.

Here is a great resource which was posted by another DU member, whose name I cannot recall.
( so sorry)

www.govtrack.us

I have using this site and it is so much better than Thomas.
Everything going on in Congress can be found and tracked easily.
You can set up tracking preferences and/or alerts for bills, hearings, topics, Indiv. Congress people's speeches, etc.

I tend to drool over workable database trackers..maybe it's just me, I dunno.
I do know we gotta watch these folks like a hawk, and some of us have more time to do that, now.

6. What Plato said.

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being ruled by your inferiors."

Thank you, dixiegrrrrl.

7. Exactly what I have been looking for

It is so hard to keep up with legislation. The goverment sites don't go into much detail.
