It always drives me crazy when, after hearing about some new piece of legislation that just got voted on in Congress, I look all over the web for articles about the vote and find reams of information on every aspect of the legislation, but never a complete list of WHO VOTED FOR AND AGAINST IT!!! It seems to me that the greatest service a media outlet could possibly offer would be to go out of its way to make sure that everybody knows who, in their government, can be held accountable for whatever constitutional or unconstitutional bill passes into law.

I was especially curious as to the big Impeachment vote in the house recently, and was wondering if someone could help me out by showing me a place where I can find the info on this, and, also, a good website in general that usually can be relied on for this information. I would be most appreciative to anybody who could make these sources public. Thank you!

http://www.downsizedc.org is good. And they send out email alerts complete w/contact info so you can call/email and be heard. :) No guarantees on whether they will pay attention though!
