The Fifty States of America

This purpose of this site is to provide the general public with a single web page which allows easy access to the official web pages of the fifty states. Through this access, the general public may more easily obtain information regarding their state representatives and senators, locate information on tourist activities, look at job listings, and much more.

The majority of the state web sites provide the same kinds of information. There are generally links pertaining to state government, tourism/travel, business, education, employment and other topics. (It is also interesting that the majority of the state home pages make an effort to have pages especially for kids!)  Most of these web sites also contain some sort of search feature.
