Hey, thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions! We're a small team right now (actually, I'm the lone dev for the site), but we definitely want to integrate a lot of these suggestions -- especially info on campaign contributions and local legislative data.
We're looking to add another developer to the team, so please get in touch with us if you or someone you know is interested. Here's a small article about us and our story: http://govfresh.com/2012/04/for-govhub-all-politics-is-personal/
