~ sharpen your eye on legislation ~

It's a job tracking the bills in Congress that affect your well being and livelihood. But here's a fresh, upstart site that really does it right. Search bills by number or subject, in the current or past legislative sessions. The search results also list "the money trail", organizations that contributed to the coffers of the bills' sponsor. The status, sponsors and content of the bills in listed, and links to similar bills. You don't want to just hope that you remember to check back to find that your favorite bill has come and gone. Several monitoring tools are available to track bill events, including a newsreader feed.
