Comment Time to get more involved in government (Score 1) 759
First thing:
Hat's off to the folks who run Slashdot and those who post here (well, most of you : ) ). I'm pretty much guaranteed to learn something new here everyday.
With all the 'crap' (for lack of a better word) that's been going on in Congress lately, I've decided I need to get more involved in the workings of our government.
Things that have really set me off lately:
1) Texas redistricting
2) Overhyped intel on Iraqi WMD as justification to go to war.
3) Energy Bill
4) Ban on gay marrage Constitutional amendment
5) RIAA and MTBE exemptions
6) Health care bill
I think we all know that Congress is available to the highest bidder, but it has become so obscene in the past year.
Politically, I'm pretty middle of the road. Can anyone recommend any organizations that might be worth looking into (ie government reform, watchdogs that bite both parties, etc...)?
Thanks,
Nathan
