The big brains at the MIT Media Lab are doing their bit to help make ours a sousveillance society -- one in which observation from beneath counterbalances state spying.

There you can find constantly updated information on judges, legislators, executive agencies, corporate lobbyists, and (perhaps more important) the many connections between them.
