The Virtual Congress
http://ibert.org/VC/
"The project is Internet-based dialog, among high school government classes throughout the
United States, about the priorities of government as expressed in the federal budget.
Each class, representing its own congressional district, decides on a legislative agenda.
Students iron out details of federal budget proposals. They post these budget proposals on the
Virtual Congress floor. The proposals consist of what is to be accomplished by the proposal, how
it will be implemented, detailed cost analyses and changes to dollar amounts of specific budget
line items from actual agency budget requests. Students then vote and answer concerns voiced by
real constituents. As a resource for the students, the project provides a comprehensive detailed
listing of the thousands of budget lines items, taken from actual agency budget submissions."
