Hats off to Propublica!

Using just your zip code, you can find out where your member of congress stands and what’s important to him, not just with his voting, but also his newsletters, emails, and relationships with other members of congress.
This site provides information on lawmakers, the bills they consider and the votes they take (and miss). You can browse the latest votes and bills, see how often lawmakers vote against their parties and compare voting records.

7. Not important to me at the moment...I have Sherrod Brown and ick Portman.

I will vote for and support all Democratic candidates as our very survival as a party and as a country depends on us doing so...oh and how about supporting the DNC financially people...elections are expensive.

9. republican monopoly here, too, but the data base is still helpful.

It lists key bills, who voted for what, so is not limited to just our own Reps/Sens.
Also gives info on my state level, which is hard to find other wise, given that our state newspapers are all Republican. ( yes they all say NO to Moore).

8. ProPublica is great. Our "reps" all serve the Koch class, and

in some cases right-wring religious extremists, so it's of very limited use to me.

Frankly, even though I vote for the "best" Republican in the primary, there hasn't been one in a decade I've considered even a halfway decent choice, almost all just as committed to serving the wealthy and god instead of us as the rest, differing mainly in competence and degree of extremism. Just looking at the Democratic side of the ballot is like stepping out into fresh air.
