This “mobile site” is optimized for the iPhone and iPod touch. You can try it on other smartphones but it’s likely the formatting will be off. We hope OpenSecrets.org and its parent, the Center for Responsive Politics creates versions for other smartphones and other mobile devices.

For those of you who have never visited and/or used the massive amount of data OpenSecrets provides. Here’s how the site describes itself:

OpenSecrets.org is your nonpartisan guide to money’s influence on U.S. elections and public policy. Whether you’re a voter, journalist, activist, student or interested citizen, use our free site to shine light on your government. Count cash and make change.

A blog post from OpenSecrets.org says this first version of the mobile site has profiles of members of congress (it’s searchable) and also provides access to the always interesting Capital Eye Blog. The post is clear in saying that more sections and data will be added to the mobile site. We will be waiting and watching.

The site should auto-detect your mobile web browser or you can go directly to: http;//m.opensecrets.org
