Almost 1.7 million people visit the website for the United States Senate, which is one of the most concise information resources for legislative activity on the wb.

By visiting the Senate online, visitors can find their local Senator, contact their Senator or any other, and find information and background on each legislator. Biographies and the history of the Senate is available, as is information on all twenty Senate Committees, 68 sub-committees, and 4 joint committees. In addition to the committee information, U.S. Senate Caucuses are described and information on the history of caucuses and future hearings is also provided.

Perhaps one of the most important parts of the U.S. Senate site is the Daily Congressional Record which is published online. The Congressional Record is a recording of all Congressional events, votes, debates, activities, and listings of future hearings and votes. For people interested in particular issues, this is a convenient way to keep in touch with what is happening in the Senate.

Of the 1.7 million visitors to the Senate website, the gender split is almost exactly equal (51% male/49% female), yet the number of visitors over the age of 35 are significantly over-represented (67%). 83% of visitors are Caucasian, 76% have no children, and 56% make $60,000 or more per year.
