Know your Representatives, How to Contact Them, And How their Voting

by John A. Smith (Medic3569's blog)

In the House of Representatives our Congressmen are not representing the people. They are representing their own interests. They seem to be working simply to get reelected. Even when the vast majority of constituents are strongly in favor of something, or strongly against something, representatives will vote the opposite of what the people want. One way to make them hear our voices is to contact them, let them know that we are paying attention to what they do. Sadly, many people couldn't even tell you who their representatives are. Ask your friends who their United States Senators are, who their State Senators are, who their Congressmen and Assemblymen are, who their local politicians are. Chances are you will be surprised with the results.Medic3569's blog will give people a way to find out who all of their representatives are, but how to contact them, and how to track their actions and votes. Stay tuned as we build the blog.
