This is good, I have signed up: govtrack.us As educated voters we should ALL be doing this anyway rather than listening to media blitz. It DOES take work to determine what the bills are completely composed of because they include additional items not specific to the initial bill.
(We should INSIST each bill consist of one topic ONLY however I believe it is structured this way so things can be slithered through.) How is it our congressional representatives go into office with a small net worth and come out millionaires with a congressional pay check?? Insider information?
