Project VoteSmart's CongressTrack claims to be "a citizen's toolkit for tracking Congress." Keep track of your member of Congress. See how members voted on bills, get biographical information, access the Congressional REcord, and follow links to other congressional information services. The Library of Congress is an extraordinarily rich resource. View current library exhibitions and retrieve current news and events. A highlight of this page is the "American Memory" project, which contains historical collections for the "National Digital Library." Thomas (named after Thomas Jefferson) is the Library of Congress's congressional service. If the question pertains to Congress, Thomas can almost certainly help answer it. The House of Representatives maintains its own website that allows you to retrieve information on current and recent legislation and information on members, committees, and other congressional organizations. An alternative site, Congress, is comparably rich, although it is privately operated. The Senate also maintains its own website, which features services similar to the House's site.
