There are 535 elected Representatives in the U.S. Congress who make policy decisions every day that affect you. And 435 of them (the entire U.S. House of Representatives) will undergo a job evaluation next year as they are up for election. About one-third of the U.S. Senate seats are up for election in 2006, too. Next year’s election could swing the balance of power either way. Research now, and work to get those politicians in office you believe will make a better difference in your (and our) future.
