Very nice work. We need more good research like this on FR. A couple of suggestions:

We all know how the Dems are going to vote in general. Ditto the Republicans. So what is of interest is the D votes and the R votes that go against the majority positions of each party. Are there any consistently "good" Dems. Any consistently "bad" (i.e. RINO) Republicans? So a different color for the "bad" R votes and the "good" D votes would be a great help.

And second: how about summing up the R and D votes for each category.

And also - keep up the work it is greatly appreciated. Add in the new votes as they take place. ACORN votes would be of interest. And how about the Senate?

The site linked has profile data for each member of Congress, and it is available from the link that is attached to the Name of the Congressman.

Lets refine the method and target what is important and nail them for their vote pattern.

This is a work in progress.

That would be an easy addition to the table. Again, constructive suggestion are appreciated. Also suggestions on the Bills that are really important. Keep in mind we need to keep the table reasonable in size. It is complicated by the issue that membership of the Congress does change.

The value of a report is inversely proportional to the volume!
