There's a bit of a tendency to resort to tertiary sources when discussing politics. We all do it, its ok. Just don't touch yourself so much when you do.

But, I think its always important to know where to go for the source information. When we see a news story, before we totally buy into it, we should really see the primary documents for ourselves. So I am making a list of sites where you can go and look up the information yourself

For bills and resolutions in congress that are mentioned, go here for the original documents and language:

If you are a google Chrome user, I HIGHLY recommend downloading DocumentCloud. It will link you to original sources for major news storie. Non chrome users can still go to the website and search through their archives:
