Speaking of Progressive Gold
The bad part about blogs is, segues don't get read in the order you think of them. Trust me, I was speaking of Progressive Gold.
Anyway, speaking of Progressive Gold, at the top of the page they say:
- In the U.K., fax your local M.P. via FaxYourMP
- In the U.S., write to your Senator
- or write to your representatives in the House.
- In urgent cases, you could also dial up the Congressional toll-free switchboard at 1-800-839-5276 and talk to your Congresspeople directly.
- If you would like to reach the socalled "liberal media", Take Back the Media has a directory with contact addresses available.
I don't need to say that whatever you do, please stay polite and concise, do I?
Cool. Now bloggers. do your readers know about these links?
Even better, do they know what to contact their Congress critters about?
Enter the Congress.org -- Issues and Action. Run by Capital Advantage, the consulting firm from which (with a little direction from Frank and I Protest) I got the lookup form for media organizations, and state and federal legislators in the right-hand column, you can look up what's on tap for said legislators. They also provide a mechanism for contacting your rep right on the spot.
Congress.org has another query box that taps into the Issues and Action pages. I'm considering getting the code so I can peel it apart and add the necessary code to the box I have. That way folks can look up Federal and state legislators, media organizations (a frighteningly complete list is returned by zip code) and issue-specific legislative items, all in ine handy container.
