I've added Cloture Votes as a vote group for the Senate.  Enjoy.

To better understand the cohorts and vote groups, listing of the individual members in each are available from the statistics pages.   When you go to an individual "Compare Voters" page, the name of the cohort is now a link.  If you click that link, you'll get a description of the cohort and a paginated list of cohort members.  Similarly, when you go to an "Analyze" or "Compare Votes" page, the name of the chosen vote group is now a link.  A list of votes included in that vote group is available by clicking that link.  A click on the roll will show detailed information about that vote.

The "list votes" link is gone from the Statistics Available list.  You may list all the votes for a given legislator by choosing the vote group "All House Votes" or "All Senate Votes", then clicking on the name of that vote group in the individual statistics page.

I'm happy to announce the first public beta of my new site, CongressDB.  Its goal is to make the charts and graphs that I use available for every Member of Congress.  CongressDB has its own blog, and I'll be posting there on topics related to the technology of CongressDB, and my views on open source journalism.  This post is cross-posted to both the Fighting 29th and CongressDB, but I won't be cluttering up the Fighting29th with information CongressDB postings.

CongressDB is in its infancy, but it contains two features that I wasn't able to find on the other great services on the Internet. 

Welcome to CongressDB 0.1, the first public beta of CongressDB.  This blog will be used for news about site availability,  to discuss new features, and to discuss open-source journalism.
