Pages requiring post-import cleanups
Because all pages that exist on Congresspedia (they have the " " tag) over-write any pages here. Content-wise, this is good, but there's a few nuts-and-bolts pages that have to be reverted back to their old version, including:


 * Template:Politician

Cleanup these categories:
 * Category:Communications, Science and Intellectual Property Policy (U.S.)
 * Category:Culture Policy (U.S.)
 * Category:Economic Policy (U.S.)
 * Category:Education Policy (U.S.)
 * Category:Elections and Government Policy (U.S.)
 * Category:Energy and Environment Policy (U.S.)
 * Category:Food and Agriculture Policy (U.S.)
 * Category:Health Policy (U.S.)
 * Category:Infrastructure and Transportation Policy (U.S.)
 * Category:Labor, Immigration and Retirement Policy (U.S.)
 * Category:National Security and Foreign Policy (U.S.)
 * Category:Rights, Liberties and Courts Policy (U.S.)
 * Category:Science and Technology Policy (U.S.)
 * Category:Social Policy (U.S.)
