This isn’t photography but I thought it was interesting.
I found this site, themiddleclass.org, that is using Web 2.0 design (modern web-design that encourages free exchange of data) in an interesting way. You can make a widget to add to your blog that tracks the voting records of legislators on issues effecting the middle class. They gather on there site all the voting data on any particular bill (Including Vetoes by the President, Like legislation on the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 ) I’m not sure how they quantify what is good for the middle class, but you can track individual legislators, past or pending bills, or get a search widget that you can publish on your own website or blog.
Next It would be great to see a tool that lets us see how legislators votes are effecting the poor. But for know we can hope that what helps the middle class helps society as a whole.
