U.S. Archives
and Records Administration
To quote from their vision statement,"The National Archives
is not a dusty hoard of ancient history. It is a public trust on
which our democracy depends. It enables people to inspect for themselves
the record of what government has done. It enables officials and
agencies to review their actions and helps citizens hold them accountable."

for public office including President of the United States to state
legislature to local elected officials, covering them in five basic

proposed legislation, testimony by agencies, and much more.
Government
Accountability Project
The mission of the Government Accountability Project is to protect
the public interest and promote government and corporate accountability
by advancing occupational free speech, defending whistleblowers
and empowering citizen activists. They also advise public agencies
and legislative bodies about management policies and practices that
help government deal more effectively with substantive information
and concerns, while protecting the jobs and identities of those
who provide this critical information.
The
Nation Directory
"A directory of people, organizations, non-profits, agencies,
books and other resources relating to the world of politics."
Includes both links to Websites and past articles from The Nation.
Rulers
"This site contains lists of heads of state and heads of government
(and, in certain cases, de facto leaders which don't occupy either
of those formal positions) of all currently existing countries and
territories. Inasmuch as countries which no longer exist are included,
they are found under their main successors (e.g., for the Soviet
Union, look under Russia). "
