This week we had a technical glitch that caused every bill to show up with no cosponsors. This should now be corrected.

Cosponsors disappeared! (They're back now.)
Everything should be back to normal now. Thanks for your patience.

Can you please add a feature allowing you to sort results by the number of cosponsors? I always though it’d be interesting. Of course, you’d need to make that a percentage, or there’ll be a bias towards House bills.
I am relatively new to this site, but from what I can see you guys are doing a great job. I don’t think that the “THOMAS” site doesn’t see the value in public information, but rather they don’t want the public to see the information. For so long the Congress has been able to operate with its constituents being in the dark, but since the internet is so quick and widely used they are all running for cover. I am glad for services like yours that give transparency to Congress, so I can see for myself what is really going on. I think if more voters knew what was really happening this country would straighten out in short order. Keep up the good work!
George, that’s definitely not true. I know people that work at the Library of Congress (where THOMAS comes from) and they work hard to disseminate accurate information about Congress as best they can. To the extent they’re not doing more, it’s a matter of prioritizing the budget against other things the Library does, and fulfilling the mission Congress has given to them.
