Way to go brother!

If I said: "Things like these do make a change" it would be like watering my wine but yes I will say it, they can make a change. If not but teaching "ordinary" people that they are the only source and fuel of change.

If I may say that your site can grow into a campaign-tracking site where it shows next to each so-called elected servant all the public requests/letters/campaigns/demands people have already asked via your site so you track them easily, which the user can also sign their names in 2 seconds and ... 2 mins later another letter arrives at the capitol.

May I also say that I too vote against using google's captcha in a page where people may enter their address and google will obtain their ip. Perhaps a diy captcha? GD::SecurityImage::AC based on Authen::Captcha.

Apropos checking on power: I like this site: http://www.therobingroom.com/ (for those who do not want to click it's a site with comments and ratings of US judges). Perhaps you can integrate their info so that the citizens also know who will be trying them when they do push that constitutional rights ring-bell too hard or too-much :)
