A little bit about you and your project:

We will help train 21st Century muckraking journalists ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muckraker ).

In the Digital Democracy Contest, high school government students compete in teams to answer questions ( http://digitaldemocracycontest.org/more.html#morequestions ) using US Government websites.

President Obama is increasing government transparency ( http://infosthetics.com/archives/2009/03/open_up_government_data.html ), and we want to help students take advantage of this opportunity to be involved with government.
