Software developer and Pop!Tech team member Greg Elin has put together a fantastic online widget for the Sunlight Foundation, a new DC-based foundation dedicated to bringing transparency to our all-too-opaque democracy.

The widget creates a context-based popup window on a blog whenever a US Congress Members’ name appears and is clicked. The popup contains links to the politician’s page on Congresspedia, a new wiki covering US Congress members, as well as links to OpenSecrets.org, a site that lists each politicians’ campaign contributions, and links to their voting record.
