I just attended a Moms Demand Action Hour and found out about a great resource for info about bills on any issue.

Without signing up or anything, I was able to very quickly find out how everyone on a state Assembly committee voted on a particular bill.
There is info on bills in Congress and in every state.

Also, info on the legislative process/definition of terms, governors' roles in signing or not, how soon bills become effective, etc.
