TWO WAYS TO KEEP TRACK OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT

Open Congress
http://www.opencongress.org/
“Open Congress brings together official government data with news and blog coverage to give you the real story behind each bill.” Categories: bills, senators, representatives, committees, industries, issues, and blog. Also can follow bills, including most viewed bills. From the Sunlight Foundation and PPF, both dedicated to getting the “real” story from Congress.

VA Watchdog
http://vawatchdog.org/
This time the site is “keeping an eye on the VA (Veterans’ Administration) because somebody has to!” There are news flashes, Congressional committee watches, VA press releases, links and tips to help veterans, podcasts and videos. It may be a bit biased against the VA, but is a good source of information anyway.
