Say What was a project started at the New York Times Developers Hack Day on Nov 16, 2013.

Goal; Compute the complexity of each bill in congress. As a first crack, measure the number of references to laws. Usually, such references are particularly obscure. There is not an easily-recognizable grammar to recognize legal citations inline, but a few common words will suffice for startsers; "United States Code", "Federal Register", U.S.C., "Public Law", "Private Law"

First make sure you have Pip installed and run pip install -r requirements.txt.

Next run db_setup.py.

Finally you need to obtain keys for the APIs and set them up in login.py (does not exist by default):

keys = { 'nyt_article_search': '***', 'nyt_campaign_finance': '***', 'nyt_congress': '***', 'sunlight': '***', } 

You can get a key from developer.nytimes.com/register and http://sunlightfoundation.com/api/.
