In his inaugural address, President Obama proclaimed "an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas that for far too long have strangled our politics."

It is simply wrong for commentators to continue to focus on President Barack Obama's high levels of popularity, and to conclude that these are indicative of high levels of public confidence in the work of his administration. Indeed, a detailed look at recent survey data shows that the opposite is most likely true. The American people are coming to express increasingly significant doubts about his initiatives, and most likely support a different agenda and different policies from those that the Obama administration has advanced.

It is a free service and available to historians, lawyers and yes - even the Supreme Court has referenced it in their debates.

See http://performance.utah.gov/transparency.shtml. I sugget expanding that bill to include transparency in how teachers and adminstrators get their salaries and pay increases. This should help reform education to be more accountable for budget increases they receive each year.

Twitter.com is a popular Web 2.0 site. Twittervision.com show you instant responses from people telling you what they are doing "right now". I suggest making Twitter clone software - which is FREE - on an upgraded Utah Legislature Web site at http://le.utah.gov. Why? One example for its usage could be a Utah State House or Senator being able to hold a "Town Hall Meeting" online, and enabling remote participants to give instant feedback, questions or comments to proposed legislation using Twitter.
