Political Money Line
Formerly "FEC Info." "The non-partisan Federal candidate campaign money page" ... or ... "A place to discover who gave what to which Federal candidates when..."

Project Vote Smart
"Project Vote Smart tracks the performance of over 13,000 political leaders." Site selections include: "Issue Positions"; "Voting Records"; "Performance Evaluations"; "Campaign Finances"; "Biographies"; and "Other Available Information."

Roll Call
"The late House Speaker Tip O'Neill (D-Mass) had the best description for Roll Call; he called it "our hometown newspaper in Washington." For forty years, our primary subject matter (and audience) has been the US Congress. But we approach the institution in an unorthodox way. Instead of tracking issues and legislation, we cover the three Ps: people, politics, and process." Fairly mainstream ... but with news and tidbits not found elsewhere about the goings-on in Washington.

School of the Americas Watch
"SOA Watch is an independent organization that seeks to close the US Army School of the Americas through vigils and fasts, demonstrations and nonviolent protest, as well as media and legislative work." The Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (formerly the US Army School of the Americas), "based in Fort Benning, Georgia, trains Latin American soldiers in combat, counter-insurgency, and counter-narcotics. Graduates of the SOA have been responsible for some of the worst human rights abuses in Latin America."

THOMAS Legislative Service
Find information concerning Congress -- particularly legislative activity -- under headings like "Congress This Week", "Bills", "Congressional Record", "Committee Information", "Historical Documents", "The Legislative Process" and "Congressional Internet Services" (a set of great government links). Invaluable source of information.(Why is it called THOMAS? "In the spirit of Thomas Jefferson, a service of the U.S. Congress through its Library." Oh.)

United for a Fair Economy
"United for a Fair Economy [supports those] who work to address the widening income and asset gap in our country. Our work is grounded in the belief that our country would be a far more democratic, prosperous, and caring community if we narrowed the vast gap between the very wealthy and everyone else. Our constituency is broad and deep and includes both those directly hurt by economic disparity and those who benefit from it."

WebActive
"WebActive is a weekly World Wide Web publication designed to keep you up-to-date on the latest in activism and progressive politics on the Internet. WebActive helps you navigate the tremendous web of information which has been spun by the growth of the Internet. WebActive also helps plug you in to activist opportunities so you can have a direct impact and make a difference. WebActive covers both the mainstream and the margins." That's what they say. That's what they do!
