What we can do to bring the troops home

The People's Email Network is doing everything it can to encourage more participatory democracy.

The People's Email Network exists to give you an avenue to more effectively communicate with your legislative representatives. We take no political position on any of the questions presented. That is your responsibility as a citizen. Help us spread the word about this resource to everyone you know.

Our democracy is only as strong as the participation of the people. Do your representatives only hear from you once every two or four years, assuming you vote at all? There are members of Congress who publicly bemoan the fact that they don't hear from more of their constituents more often. Our leaders are our generals in the political arena, but we are their troops. They can't do battle for us against opposing interests without being able to demonstrate our ongoing support. The People's Email Network is constructed to facilitate communication with our elected officials. By your participation you can establish that you are a voter who will call your government to account at each successive election. Your views do count. They will be heard. And most importantly, when you cast your votes in the section above, be sure to use the ground-breaking input functions of our website to also submit the email addresses of everyone you know. In this way we can together mobilize the entire country to speak in the loudest possible voice.

1. Mine don't listen. My rep is a repub and only listens to the party line.

Bob Graham was my senator, but got replaced by another party line repub. Bill Nelson wasn't interested in listening either. He listened to those who didn't write when he voted for the invasion.
