Capitol Words is a great website which visualizes the most frequently used words in the Congressional Record, giving you an at-a-glance view of which issues lawmakers address on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis.

You can also see who are the most vocal or quietest members of Congress (i.e., those who have the most or least words attributed to them in the Congressional Record, including via extended remarks).

The Capitol Words site is powered by data collected by Sunlight's LOUIS database from GPO Access.
