GovTrack has had a few widgets that you can embed on your website to show tracked events or the status of bills, and, for developers, now it’s possible to use the Google Maps congressional district overlays on your own Google Maps mash-ups. There’s also a REST API for searching legislation. Details here

A few site updates to mention: First, I’ve created a new Presidential Candidates page for those candidates that have served in Congress, which is actually most. You can see how they line up in political leanings as I’ve sorted them based on their position in GovTrack’s Political Spectrum Love in the Time of Cholera movies

Stay tuned: Major news from the Open House Project in one week.

Not much. The Democrats have had three months and so far we’ve seen no significant progress in transparency. Paul Blumenthal over at Sunlight gives an update here.

Suicide Blonde video In other news, the Open House project is in the final steps of assembling our report for Speaker Pelosi. I’ve written up two sections, one recommending that the legislative database powering THOMAS be opened up, and the other recommending the House establish a permanent “thing” to tackle transparency & technology issues in the long term.

With all of these new features, GovTrack will be pretty much on auto-pilot until the summer.

The 110th Congress starts on January 4, and the Democrats have promised a New Year’s resolution for us: Congress will be held to a higher standard of ethics and accountability. Let’s see if they keep to their promise and enact meaningful legislation for government transparency. Remember that with a new Congress beginning, no bills are carried over from last year. Everything starts anew. (Oh, and happy new year!)

You may notice the vote maps on this site look all crazy now. They’re “cartograms,” distorted mathematically so that every state (for Senate votes) or congressional district (for House votes) gets an equal amount of space in the image. (In House vote maps, look how big California got, or see if you can find Manhattan, now the size of Montana!)
