I decided my blog today would be about getting information out to my readers regarding voting districts, as not all primaries are held on the same date. Until I started getting involved, I didn't know my own districts, and thought that many people, well, probably most people, don't know what districts they belong to, or even their representatives names. We have to change that if we're going to change the "politics as usual" in this country.
I first googled "find your voting district by address" and found: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/yourleg.html You put in your address, click submit, and your district number and legislators information shows up. In fact, http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/legsite.html has a plethora of information that is very useful and informative for all California voters.
So, then I googled "find California congressman by address" and the #1 hit was http://www.contactingthecongress.org/. When I clicked on it, here is what I see:

(It didn't copy too well, but you get the picture..LOL)
What the heck??? I don't know who sponsors the website, and it seems to be accurate in locating one's representatives, but what's with the huge red underlined sentence? We need to wake up and force our legislators to introduce and push legislation to allow English only when voting or filling out ANY government form (DMV, etc). This is crazy. You're going to vote, but can't read or write English?!!!
As California voters, we must spread the word...If we want to save our STATE and our COUNTRY, we have to stop being complacent about the power we really have. The idea that "my one little vote doesn't really ever count" attitude has to stop!! There is a movement going on in this country that can change all of that, but we need everyone to get involved. If you do nothing else, educate yourself and your family and friends about the power we have when we all support and promote the right candidate for the job!! Go to http://icaucus.org/ RIGHT NOW and read about the endorsed candidate(s).
Also, don't forget to view the latest educational video (regarding taxation) posted on the left side of my blog! Thanks for reading :)
