Hold your representatives accountable

One of the most important things we can do is hold our elected officials accountable for their words, promises and actions. Let them know what's important to you, what you would like done. Tell them what you need and what concerns you. Ask them for the services and support your community needs.

Many officials are truly concerned about their constituents and want to know what they need and want so that they can make it happen. Most officials want to be elected again so they will respond to you and to your concerns so that you will re-elect them. Do not hesitate to write, call, or e-mail your representatives. Here's some information on how to do that:

* Write the President Bush at president@whitehouse.gov or visit www.whitehouse.gov for mailing and telephone information.

* Visit www.senate.gov to find out who your US senators are and how to contact them.

* Visit www.house.gov to find out who your US representatives are and how to contact them.

* For state legislators and other officials, and for local offices, click here to find names and contact information.

Call them! Write them! Let them know what's on your mind. Their job is to listen to you. And if they don't do so, you have the power to fire them.
