We're updating our Obameter database of campaign promises.

Three and a half years ago, we launched an unprecedented effort to track President Barack Obama's campaign promises.

We unveiled the Obameter, a database of more than 500 promises on everything from Afghanistan to autism. Since then, we've been tracking and rating each one, from In the Works to Promise Kept.

Our Obameter has been cited frequently in blogs, news stories, television shows and books as the authoritative source about Obama's promises.

We'll be updating the promises in the next few months, particularly the ones rated In the Works or Stalled, and we'd like your help. If you have information about developments on a particular promise, please send it to us. We'd love to get links to news stories, press releases, appropriations documents -- anything that shows the outcome.
