What did YOUR Senator vote on yesterday? Click here!
Great Senate website to see who did what to whom in the Senate.
http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/vote_menu_108_2.htm

This gives a summary of legislation voted upon. You can then click on various columns to get more information. The first column gives you the list of which Senators voted how. Another column explains the bill, and gives links to other information as well.

I'm going to be checking this and sending emails frequently from now on.

Everyone needs to be doing this!

2. That's a good point. There has been no checks & balances in
government for the last 4 years. However, it's good to keep track of how our senators/representatives vote to determine what their interests are.

4. and emailing them on specific issues will hold them
accountable. Our Congress is our representation...but they can only represent what they hear the people say. If only lobbyists speak to them, then how can we complain that they listen to the lobbyists?
