   Wouldn't it be nice if taxpayers like you could easily find out how your state government spends your money? Wouldn't it be great to go to one simple website where you could search for spending by keyword, similar to a google.com search?

   We certainly think so, and the Show Me the Spending Coalition is working to bring user-friendly state spending databases to a computer near you.

   With your assistance and the help of a wide-ranging coalition of organizations, Congress passed a law last year creating a website (now located at www.usaspending.gov) where visitors will be able to search for federal grant and contract spending.  This was a great victory for government transparency, but now we need to replicate this win in all 50 states.  

   Take a look around and find out what you can do to help in your state. For those interested in getting any overview of what's happening in all 50 states, you can read a report on current legislation along with a report on existing databases. Be sure to visit our Take Action page, where you can send a message to your state legislators. 

   Together, we can bring state spending information to the fingertips of all Americans.
