<p>Launched in 2004 as a hobby of <a href="http://razor.occams.info">Joshua Tauberer</a>,
GovTrack.us was the first website worldwide whose primary goal was to provide free comprehensive
legislative tracking for everyday citizens and to embrace Web 2.0 and open data for government
information. GovTrack.us was a 2006 <a
href="http://webbyawards.com/webbys/current.php?season=10#webby_entry_politics">Webby Award
nominee</a> and has been covered in <a href="http://www.govtrack.us/articles/20050126nyt.xpd">The
New York Times</a> and <a href="http://www.govtrack.us/articles/20060301wp.xpd">The Washington
Post</a>.</p>
<p>You'll find here the <a href="/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-6331">status of U.S. federal
legislation</a>, <a href="/congress/vote.xpd?vote=h2008-469">voting records</a> for the Senate
and House of Representatives, information on <a href="/congress/person.xpd?id=400365">Members of
Congress</a>, <a href="/congress/findyourreps.xpd">district maps</a>, as well as congressional
committees and the Congressional Record.</p>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<p>The information shown on this site is assembled in an automated way
from official government websites (primarily from the website <a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/">THOMAS</a>,
the official website for the status of legislation run by the Library of Congress).
The process of gathering the information is entirely automatic and Congress
isn't always very happy to share, so you may find occasional errors here, but we
take errors very seriously and work hard to correct them.</p>
<p>The status and text of legislation is usually delayed by about 24 hours
and roll call votes usually appear on the site within an hour because we can only
get information as fast as the official sites put it online.</p>
<p>Our database also extends into the past. You can search and browse bills going back to the
103rd Congress (1993-94), though the text of legislation goes back only as far as the 106th
Congress (1999-2000). Roll call votes are available back to the start of our nation!.</p>
<h4>More about the site</h4>
<p>This site was created and is run by <a href="http://razor.occams.info">Joshua Tauberer</a>
and became a project of <a href="http://www.civicimpulse.com">Civic Impulse, LLC</a> when the company was formed in September 2009.
Steve Pearson currently moderates the bill Q&A system.
GovTrack isn't affiliated with the government or any other group and our only ongoing
funding comes from advertising.

Please don't email me to contact your Member of Congress or to do research for you, though!
Also, please don't cite me personally for information you find on this site as the
information is derived entirely from other databases. I generally don't do research by hand or exercise any editorial effect over what you see here.</p>
<p>Starting in July 2008, several others have contributed to the development of this site.
<a href="http://plaza.ufl.edu/publius/">Daniel Gabriele</a> did design work.
Kevin Henry developed the interactivity on the new bill text display (supported by a <a href="http://www.sunlightfoundation.com">Sunlight Foundation</a> grant).
Thanks to Mike Drescher for collecting some images of Members of Congress. Ben Rellick designed
some updated logos.</p>
