NEW GOVERNMENT DATA

OPEN SECRETS has databases on congressional personal finances and
travel. Want to know how much your congressman is worth? Curious why
your senator flew to Hawaii on an interest group's dime? This searchable
database also details the finances of the president, vice president and
select executive branch officials. How do their investment portfolios
compare to yours?

PERSONAL FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES:

MINISTRY OF LOVE - The goal of this blog is to collect 315 copies of
Orwell's 1984 and send them to every member of Congress who voted for
the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which suspends the writ of Habeas
Corpus for anyone deemed an "enemy combatant" by anyone in the Bush
Administration, meaning they can detain you indefinitely without access
to a court and torture you if they like.
