[Peace] Another question

Can anyone tell me where I might find, on the web:

1) A list of all the Senators and Representives, the states they're from,
and their addresses, phone numbers, etc. in Washington DC?

2) A sort of summary of the bills our Congresscreatures have been voting on
recently - not the entire bill, but a summary of what it enacts into law,
what its status is currently (in committee, passed, signed by the President,
etc.), and if the Senate and H. or R. voted on it, a tally of who voted for
it and who voted against it.

As an example, everyone has talked about Barbara Lee being the lone person
to vote "no" on a certain bill that gave GW Bush some sort of power to wage
war in Afghanistan.  But if I understand it correctly, it wasn't the War
Powers Act they were invoking, but something else.  I'm not clear on what
exactly they voted on.

There was another recent bill that passed with a vote of something like
534-2.  I have no idea what that bill was.

I realize that this is kind of a broad and open-ended question, but I have a
feeling that a few of you will guide me unerringly to exactly what I'm
looking for.  And I thank you in advance.

John
