There are some interesting proposals to push the Semantic Web in the US Government. The main one is probably Publish recovery data as Linked Open Data proposed by Tim Berners Lee. Recovery.org is already powered by Drupal, and given the coming RDF sprint and RDFa in Drupal 7, this can have a great benefit for Drupal. Please have a look and leave a comment.

The U.S. federal government is seeking (for one day more) input on
technology approaches for collecting, publishing, visualizing, and
analyzing data related to the federal stimulus program (ARRA) and the
recovery.gov Web site.There are at least five idea submissions which people on this list might
be interested in. I'd encourage anyone interested to take a look,
comment, and rate the ideas that they support. I believe you need to
register with a US zip code to comment & rate ideas.* Collect & publish recovery data with Semantic Web technologies:
