Washington, DC (PRWEB) November 11, 2007 -- LegiStorm is now offering a new way to keep score on Congress.

LegiStorm's latest free website feature, The Score, accessible via http://www.legistorm.com/score/index.html , brings even more transparency to the legislative branch. With The Score, users can track the latest happenings on the House and Senate floor, as well as upcoming floor debates and committee hearings.

The Score lets users read an array of the latest reports of relevance to Congress and legislation, including the Congressional Budget Office cost estimates, Statements of Administration Policy, presidential Executive Orders and Government Accountability Office reports. To make the page even more fresh, LegiStorm has joined forces with Political Wire to bring users the most updated headlines about politics. For a touch of amusement, LegiStorm even has the latest political quotes and cartoons.

Aimed at congressional staffers and government affairs professionals, The Score keeps users in touch with the latest happenings in Congress. Like the rest of the site's offerings, The Score is available at no charge to all users.

"We constantly strive to make Congress more transparent," said Jock Friedly, the founder and president of LegiStorm. "To further that goal, we are developing new projects which will be released within coming months."

LegiStorm LLC launched its website, http://www.legistorm.com/ , in Sept. 2006 with a database of the salaries of all congressional staffers. The site was featured in newspapers and blogs worldwide and was declared an "overnight sensation" by the San Francisco Chronicle. The site consistently receives more than 10,000 page views a day, many of them from House and Senate staffers.

LegiStorm has since launched a database of more than 27,000 private financed trips taken by members of Congress and their staff. The site also maintains biographies and personal financial disclosures for all members of Congress. LegiStorm says it has other innovative projects in development which are expected to be released within coming months.
