Track the stats on your Reps!

I found this site a while back: http://www.govtrack.us/

It is a site where you can track the stats on your Representatives and Senators. It lets you set monitors and updates you by e-mail. They also have the option to search bills. Another neat feature they have is "cartograms", which is a distorted U.S. map to show statistics depending on the amount of votes in that area, so places like Manhattan appear larger to represent the larger amounts of the voting block.

If you design your own site, the webmaster, Joshua Tauberer, offers his data for use on your personal sites and projects in XML and RDF format. I am hoping to tap into this data mine and use it to create something similar on this site to make it more of a "portal" for politics. Source data:
