Congressional Research Service Reports, Hosted by UNT Libraries
"The Congressional Research Service (CRS) does not provide direct public access to its reports... Some Members of Congress, as well as several non-profit groups, have posted the reports on their Web sites. This site aims to provide integrated, searchable access to many of the full-text CRS reports that have been available at a variety of different Web sites since 1990."

Legistorm
The web's only source for congressional salaries.

Who is employed by Congress, and how much they are paid, is often a source of fascination for the politically aware. Prior to this site's creation, members of the public needed to visit the document rooms of the House and the Senate in Washington, DC to discover who was being paid what. Now, all this information is available on the web - for residents of Alaska or Zanzibar - at the click of a mouse.

Campaigns Wikia
This website, Campaigns Wikia, has the goal of bringing together people from diverse political perspectives who may not share much else, but who share the idea that they would rather see democratic politics be about engaging with the serious ideas of intelligent opponents, about activating and motivating ordinary people to get involved and really care about politics beyond the television soundbites.

The Phrase Finder
The Phrasefinder site was founded in 1997 by Gary Martin. It grew out of an interest in computational linguistics that was developed during Gary's post-graduate research in 1985 and later while working in an IBM-financed research project at Sheffield Hallam University. That project, headed by Prof. Asher Cashdan and Dr. (now professor) Noel Williams, investigated the use of artificial intelligence techniques to aid the teaching of writing.
