Holding Our Politicians Accountable

Our politicians work for us. Unfortunately, I don't think many of them have a) read the Constitution, b) realize they have constituents to answer to, and c) been contacted (en mass) by their constituents. We need to change this. It's as simple as 1, 2, 3...

#1--Find out who represents you at www.congress.org

#2--Look at the issues that either impact you directly or have a negative impact on our country, our rights, and/or our future. Here's some examples:

• 'Financial Crisis Buries DoJ Bombshell'
• 'Inside Account of US Eavesdropping on Americans'

#3--Make your views known. Put your thoughts together either in writing or verbally (the more passionate and articulate the better) and contact your legislators by mail, email, fax, phone, or in person. Get your friends to do the same. Post your thoughts in your blog. Spread the word. Vote. Support the candidates that support your views. Join a protest. Sign a petition.
