So, click the banner and make managing EASY...
by spending a whole half hour preparing:
> email addresses for all your representatives, and group-distribution lists thereof as helpful,
> email folders for all representatives (you've many), to organize what you've sent whom,
> computer-directory folders for each representative, to archive notable news items about them.
Now manage easy; one day at a time - by:
> emailing your representatives direction on matters important to you - before critical votes,
> archiving articles about them for future* reference (you've more than you think, it helps),
> sharing your knowledge, opinions and actions with friends (there's power {& fun} in numbers)
And when a BIG day arrives, manage wisely - by:
using Vote-Smart.org to efficiently learn where the candidates really stand on the issues (the political courage test is good at cutting through campaign rhetoric), their voting history, which special interest groups do and don't like them and where they get their money.
What's not to like? Please join us in eManaging our government - if we don't, they'll manage themselves (and we've all seen where that leads).................................................thank you
