New Feature!

I'm introducing a new feature for "The View From Here". I've been looking for a way to compare and contrast the direction that the Republicans and Democrats want to take our country. I have taken information from the website, GovTrack.us, and have compiled a list of the top 20 most liberal and conservative members of both the House and Senate. I am going to begin reporting here all of the bills that they write and introduce to their respective chambers. It will give us all an opportunity to see what it is that they stand for.

If you're interested in how the rankings were determined, go to GovTrack.us/congress/. I will be posting the bills as often as I can, and will continue blogging on current events as well. Write to me if you want to know whether your congressperson made any of the lists.
