Here is an example of how one person can make a difference using determination, time, and the internet.

Cory Horner, of Kamloops, British Columbia is an unemployed 24 year old electrical engineer. He is also a computer wiz.

He undertook the daunting task of summarizing and tabulating the data from the records of Parliament proceedings.

The result is a web site that summarizes how each member of parliament (MP) voted on every single vote. Also, how many times they are absent on votes, how many words they spoke and how many bills they introduced.

The results are on the How'd They Vote web site.
