Congressional Portals

One idea for making Congressional website more relevant and useful to their constituents is making them portals to the federal government's online presence. This is similar to the way congressional offices function in the real world--as advocates and guides for navigating the federal bureaucracy. A good congressional website should do the same thing in cyberspace, providing constituents guidance in finding information online from the federal government. This would encourage people to see congressional websites as places they can go for useful information.
