The message below is a message from our friends at the Knight Foundation who've given us a grant here at the Sunlight Foundation to build tools to put more political data on the web

You're part of a community doing amazing work on some hugely important issues of government transparency, especially at the state and national level. We're partnering with the Sunlight Foundation and Sunlight Labs in hopes of engaging you in a complementary challenge: bringing your great ideas to cities and other local communities.
