I’ve been working with the guys from PeepGov.com to set something up for our site. PeepGov was founded by a couple of NIU grads as a way to track the internet activity relating to members of Congress. It takes into account their newspaper coverage and bills in addition to blogs, videos and Twitter posts to calculate a PeepScore to each member, which they are then ranked by. It provides a great place to view all of this coverage relating to your representative or senator in one clean place.

You’ll notice a button on the right sidebar. If you click it, it will take you to a dedicated page where I have embedded their Front Runners widget as well as the RSS feeds for the 14th and 16th district reps and our two senators. You can find them at www.PeepGov.com.
