Good Information, Action

If anyone is interested in current politics check out

www.truemajority.org

If you sign up for the emails they let you know whenever something is passing thru congress. With a couple of quick clicks you can edit and send a letter to your representatives. You get letters back in the mail offering Washington lunches to discuss whatever if you are ever in town....

Its a pretty good site overall, and a good way to keep up...

Sounds like a progressive *cough*liberal*cough* web site. I imagine they will only alert subscribers to legislation along those lines.

TrueMajority was founded by Ben Cohen, Co-founder, Ben and Jerry's. It is a grassroots education and advocacy project of Priorities, Inc., a non-profit, non-partisan, tax-deductible, 501(c)(3) corporation.

If you choose to send a free email or fax to your Congresspeople, just click "Reply" and then "Send" in your email program. Our technology will generate a message from you to your politicial representatives. That's it.

(emphasis mine) Replace "Our technology" with "Our spam-your-congressman generator" and you have a more accurate description.

I write directly to my Congressman and Senators. I've even written to a Senator or two from other states to let them know when I thought they were doing a good or bad job.

Of course, it's lackies who read them and probably file them in the circular file, but I did get a response back from one of my Senators once. I wrote about my opposition to a flag burning amendment. The response was a masterpiece of doubletalk. I could not tell if he was for or against it.

No, these sites are no good. They require you to know the state you live in and your ZIP code. The Senate one then requires you to decide which of your two senators you want to write to.

And then they both require you to think about what you want to write, and then actually write it and send it. Why can't they come up with a bunch of clickable checkboxes? Why should people have to think when they write to their representatives?

Jeezum crow...
