Get on the List

Want to do something about getting your rights back ... right now?

Whether it's the wee hours of the morning, or goofing off at work, as long as you're looking at a computer screen, you can take a little action. Should take less than 5 minutes, even if you're a slowpoke like me.

First, figure out who your state legislators are. The easiest way is to google the words "who's my legislator." You can also visit Project Vote Smart (www.votesmart.org) and type your ZIP Code into the box at the top of their home page.

Once you know who your state legislators are, go to the website for your state legislature and look them up. They all have a way for you to subscribe to newsletters. So take 5 minutes (at most) and get connected to your legislators.

Why is this important? You'll know when they're hosting events to meet their constituents (like you). Spending time face-to-face with your legislators is the best way to establish and maintain a relationship. And politics is all about relationships.
