Change We Can Visualize

Based on research we did into what APIs are available and the parameters of the Apps for America contest, we decided to adjust our project focus a bit.  Instead of looking at the federal budget, we’ve decided to examine special interest group contributions to members of Congress and whether there is any effect on the way Congress members vote.  We feel this is also a lot more compelling than budget data, and will help concerned citizens know how more about what their representatives are doing.

We have some low-fidelity prototypes in the works and will post them soon, so you can find out more about what we’re doing very shortly!
