The United States Congress now presents an API to the webverse. First the Obama admin opened Data.gov which offers a limited number of government datasets for download in various formats (CSV, XML, etc) ... e.g., the residential energy consumption survey is here . Now MAPLight.org (Money And Politics, get it?), a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization based in Berkeley, California has set out "to illuminate the connection between Money and Politics (MAP) using a groundbreaking database of campaign contributions and legislative votes".
