Nonpartisan, Non-Interest-Group E-Mail Digest of Upcoming U.S. Senate/House Votes?

June 7, 2004 2:29 PM

Is there a partisan-agnostic email alert for the US Congress available? [m-to-the-i]

What I am looking for is a weekly digest of votes that will come up in the next 1-2 weeks in both the US House and Senate. I want it devoid of views, with only issues stated with links to the thomas.gov site. I don't want to sign up for different interest groups because I will be on their list, and I don't want the info to be clouded by partisan clamor. Does this exist?

I have MegaVote, but that doesn't help because the vote has already taken place. I almost want an rss feed of the scheduled votes, where I could synch it with iCal, then puppies and kitties would be playing in the field.

This from the Congressional Quarterly looks promising. It's a daily email though.

I know it's not what you're looking for, but C-Span Alert should also be read by all political fans.

I get CQ's Midday Update. It's nice, but it doesn't generally give semi-long-term voting schedule notice. I don't know that there is such a thing, really.
