September 11th Legislation

For those of you on either side of the arguement about the restriction of Constitutional freedoms following 9/11, here is a list of Federal legislation related to the attacks that you can use to root out the truth (which is certainly somewhere in the middle).

From the site: "The selection, made by hand, is necessarily subjective, as the September 11th attack had a ripple effect on legislation in the second session of the 107th Congress, making boundaries difficult to draw. "

The list was compiled by the Library of Congress.

Does your Congressman have a

Does your Congressman have a website? Look for your Representative or Senator.

I didn't count, but it looks like all the Senators and most, if not all, of the Representatives have their own websites. It is interesting that, while all the congressmen are hosted within the Senate and House website, each is designed and maintained seperately, and some are pretty awful. It seems like it would be more efficient to provide a template (or a choice from a number of templates), and a content management system. Kind of like Blogger here.

This would certainly make it easier (and cheaper) to develop and maintain each Senate/Rep site. And though most users wouldn't need to visit the sites for any Senators or Representative other than their own, an arguement can definitely be made that a uniform template would make site navigation much simpler.
