OpenCongress, launched yesterday, “brings together official government data with news and
blog coverage to give you the real story behind each bill.”
OpenCongress is a joint project of the Sunlight Foundation and the
Participatory Politics Foundation. It brings together on one site
congressional info from Thomas, news from Google News, blog posts from
Google Blog Search and Technorati, campaign contribution info from the
Center for Responsive Politics, and their own ‘congressional gossip’ blog.
So it is not authoratative?
So we can consider it a non-authorative source when compared with senate.gov or house.gov.
depends
Info. from Thomas is authoritative. If it searches information from Congressional web sites those would considered official.
Depends on where the info. came from before it got to opencongress.org.
