====Sunlight Foundation website investigation====
Joe Sestak's official website was rated by citizen researchers in February 2007 as part of a survey by the [[Sunlight Foundation]]. The survey evaluated members' sites on whether they provided basic information on their legislative activities, post their legally required disclosures such as on personal finances and travel, and any other information that furthers transparency. Joe Sestak's site received a 16 (out of 100). A score of 40 was considered passing. [http://www.sunlightlabs.com/research/sites/results/results.php?cid=N00028049 Full results].
