Gold mine of Congressional data...check it out!
Transparent government on the Web -- thanks to YOUR TAX DOLLARS!
{I did have some trouble with failed searches, error messages, so be warned -- under construction, YMMV, etc.}

http://thomas.loc.gov

A service of the Library of Congress, named for Mr. Jefferson.


http://thomas.loc.gov/home/legbranch/legbranch.html
lots of links to agencies like GPO, CBO, GAO, Rules, lots of historical stuff, including biographies from 1774, architecture, etc.


http://thomas.loc.gov/home/legbranch/otherleg.html
includes links to voting records, district maps, educational resources, schedules, contact info for your Congressmen, Federal Register, etc., etc. I noted:

http://www.gpoaccess.gov/wcomp/index.html
Weekly compilation of Presidential Documents:
Presidential speeches, news
conferences, messages, and other
materials released by the White
House Office of the Press
Secretary

http://thomas.loc.gov/home/nomis.html
Presidential nominations. Meirs' withdrawal had not been noted when I searched.

A TON of stuff here, if it all works as advertised. Note some links are to outside, i.e. non-governmental sites.
