Popup Politicians

October 3rd, 2006 by Derek Anderson Leave a reply »

As November nears, political posting will increase dramatically. PopUp Politicians (from Sunlight labs) offers a web widget that will enhance any political posting.

This simple javascript (one line) will pick out the names of politicians and add a small round Orange button/link to their name.

• Congresspedia page
• Campaign Finance Profile
• Voting Record
