Article:
 Screenscraping the Senate
Subject: it might help if you had an actual thing you wanted to do
Date: 2004-09-09 06:25:40
From: aeoe@freeshell.org

here is what most people would be using your database for.


1. The state the senator comes from
2. The senate committees the senator sits on, and that their positions are on the committees
3. What party they are in


dont forget the house, by the way.
and there are a lot of senators with 'nicknames' that vary from their official name. kind of important when you want to cross-reference this with the Federal Election Committe campaign fund database.
