New Website Focuses on Legislation Affecting Middle Class

Its name conjures up images of marching bands but, in fact, the Drum Major Institute is a non-partisan group that's fighting for America's middle class. And they've recently unveiled a website to further the cause.

At the easy-to-use site, www.themiddleclass.org, visitors can learn about legislation affecting working families and how their state's senators and representatives voted. The site also provides video about featured bills, quotes from experts and facts and figures from DMI's Injustice Index.

The website grew out of annual reports on domestic legislation produced by DMI, which is formally called the Drum Major Institute for Public Policy, a name derived from a Martin Luther King Jr. quote. "Once a year just isn't enough," DMI says on its website. "We need to understand what Congress is voting on as they are voting on it if we truly want to hold them accountable."
