Seek the Truth

"All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them."
Galileo


Facts are facts, the rest is opinion, spin, deception, and lie. When facts are important - get the facts, nothing but the facts from FactCheck.org


Every day, the political candidates unleash a torrent of words: speeches, TV ads, press releases, Web pages, letters to contributors, interviews. Together it forms a huge river of rhetoric that can be overwhelming. Who can you believe?

When you're done checking the facts, check out what others are saying at PollingReport.com, the public opinion online site


OpenCongress.org brings together official government data with news coverage, blog posts, comments, and more to give you the real story behind what's happening in Congress. Small groups of political insiders and lobbyists already know what's really going on in Congress. We think everyone should be an insider.


OpenSecrets.org, the Center for Responsive Politics. OpenSecrets.org is your nonpartisan guide to money’s influence on U.S. elections and public policy. Whether you’re a voter, journalist, activist, student or interested citizen, use this free site to shine light on your government. Count cash and make change.


WashingtonWatch.com delivers the numbers behind proposed legislation and regulation. It is important to understand where these numbers come from and what they mean.


Based on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, LegiStorm's first information product was a database of congressional staff salaries but we have now added other valuable information, such as the most comprehensive database of all privately financed trips taken by members of Congress and congressional staffers.


GovTrack.us takes you inside the legislative process on Capitol Hill. We have a team of paid reporters going where no one has taken you before inside Congress, and we combine those reports with nonpartisan reporting from other sources.
