Do you know where your Congressperson is?

This Congress has spent less time in session than any Congress since 1948. So, the Sunlight Foundation is offering citizens $1,000 for each member of Congress that can persuade to sign the Punch Clock Agreement to put their daily schedules on the Internet.

What a great idea. They are keeping track of responses. So far only one response is listed. John Carter (R) Texas refuses to sign due to .... yes, National Security! Riiiight.

I think I'll fax an agreement over to Bob Beauprez. He's a congressman from CO and running for governor. Wonder what his excuse will be. Might be fun to use in the campaign.
