From the Scout Report: “This rather innovative database brings together three unique data sets including bill texts, legislative voting records, and supporting and opposing interests for each bill. This data allows users to determine the contributions given by interests supporting and opposing each bill and the average donations given to legislators voting ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ on each bill.”  Search by bill, legislator or interest group.

Most people in this culture treat our pets just as beloved members of the family.  This site from the AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) informs petowners which vaccinations are necessary, and how the medicine protects the animals.

Time Magazine currently has an article about a new website that a customer might ask about.  WhoCanISue.com will launch next month, and “plans to help consumers determine whether they actually have a case and help them find an attorney from a list of lawyers who advertise their expertise on the website.”  The article also mentions two other similar sites: SueEasy.com and LegalMatch.com.

Reminder: We should continue to answer legal questions in the manner we always have.  These sites are posted because of the likelihood that someone will ask about them.  Thanks!
