Washington - Roll Call Group, the publisher of Congressional newspaper Roll Call, said that it has paid $43 million to acquire Capitol Advantage, a developer of online and offline grassroots and advocacy tools.

"This acquisition will enable us to provide an even greater range of services for people whose business it is to understand the workings of Congress," said Laurie Battaglia, the managing director and executive vice president of Roll Call Group.

Capitol Advantage publishes "Congress At Your Fingertips," a congressional directory containing information on members of congress and their staffs.

The company also puts out CapwizXC, an online advocacy tool used by organizations to influence legislation by educating and mobilizing their grassroots supporters, and Knowlegis, a suite of online tools that provide legislative data necessary to manage relations with key policymakers.
