This isn't so much a startup idea as a "something I could do" idea - given a list of proposed legislation, tag it with the purposes of each bill, then use http://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes to track votes. Do statistical analysis to cluster Congressmen on like voting (this is probably kinda boring given the Republican lockstep lately).
The reason: Paul Broun (Arkansas-R) says science is Satan's work ([e.g.]) - so how do we find his voting record on science-relevant legislation?
Update: Oh. We look at votesmart.org, of course.
