Involving
Below are examples we’ve gathered on political campaign websites involving their visitors:
General Practices of Involving:
- subscribe to an email list
- volunteer time
- donate money
- contact the campaign (email, map, comment)
- contact opponent
- solicit information about visitors (age, address, demographics)
- create an e-precinct
- contact local campaign (vs. national)
- print-out flyer
- calendar of events
- online scheduling of Meetups for supporters
- coordinating offline volunteering efforts
- interactive map to find campaign headquarters
- online polls
- discussion forums
- allow supporters to blog
- link to Facebook/create Facebook group
- facilitate supporters in creating personal fundraising pages
Specific Examples of Involving (with student thoughts on each):
Besides allowing for comments on his blog (which he posts to weekly and in the first person), he has a get Active Online page with the following great examples of Involving:
- Blog for Dan
- Add my name as a public supporter
- Digg/Stumble/Reddit etc.
- I will create a facebook group
- Can make introductions to bloggers
- I am a member of the DailyKos community
- Write letters to editors
- I will participate actively in money bombs
- Have an opt-in list Dan can use
- Create a personal fundraising page
- Send me important links to distribute
- I will tweet links
- I have a website that I can put banners/email opt in forms on
- I have a website that I will feed campaign RSS onto
- Help in a more unique way: (Blank text box)
Again, the undisputed political website champion, Barack Obama’s ‘involving’ portal, My Barack Obama provides virtually any tool that a political activist would need to take meaningful action to help the campaign, from building one’s own fundraising site, creating events, and even discussing the campaign or issues on message boards.
Save Darfur is an issue based website designed to raise awareness about the Sudanese government sponsored genocide in that country’s western Darfur province. A home grown organic movement, the site provides a number of meaningful tools for individuals who want to become more invoved, from simple links to write/email public officials, to a whole portal for activists. which includes informative tool-kits and even a handy guide on how to put together a successful press conference or lobby elected officials.
The Republican National Committee
Despite being the most rudderless political party in generations, the RNC has an enviable website. The My GOP portals provide social networking opportunities, similar to Mybarackobama, and the site has easy to use tools where activists can write letters to the editor of their local newspaper, or even call Rush Limbaugh to discuss a mutual interest in seeing America fail under President Obama.
Again, much like the GOP, while Edwards is open to considerable and justifiable criticism, his website is a model for involving. Edwards was clearly out to run the most high-tech campaign in history, arguably using more tools than even Obama–at least in the early stages. His site allows you to connect to many other ’sharing’ networks, such as youtube and ning, as well as using many of the other more traditional involving options, such as online fundraising pages and volunteer portals.
Keith Fitzgerald for State House
This is a more traditional down ballot website. The involving portals are fairly standard, though Fitzgerald also provides links to the official county websites for elections offices, making it easier for supporters to look up their polling location, or learn how to register to vote, vote early or request a ballot by mail. By using direct links to the official sites, he adds credibility, particularly to the vote by mail issue, since some voters are uncomfortable requesting ballots through a candidate and would rather request directly from official sources.
Although it’s not a candidate website and it has been much discussed in class, the Democracy for America website is a great example of involving.
Florida commissioner of agriculture candidate Adam Putnam’s site has everything one needs to get involved in his campaign, despite the office he is running for doesn’t exactly light the blogosphere afire. overall, a really nice looking site.
Although his site is generic, it is a good example of how even state representative campaigns can employ effective involving techniques. his facebook group still has nearly 400 supporters.
Roland Burris, DOA, will have his hands full. alexi giannoulias has a nice looking site that immediately asks for your email sign up and had a great section on press releases, video, letter writing and involving.
Another target in 2010, Kristin Gillibrand, at least has her website set up with easy involving tools for her supporters. let’s see if one of the socialists from NYC will unseat her.
Governor Mike Huckabee
“We hope you will use this [website] to stay involved…” Huckabee’s website allows visitor to contribute money and to receive for email updates.
Bill White for Texas
http://www.billwhitefortexas.com/
“Part of any campaign website involves giving ordinary Texans the power to stay in touch with the campaign. We’ll be involved in more social networks on the internet over time, but here’s a few ways we want to encourage you to stay in touch now.” White’s website permits visitors to blog, look at YouTube, see and share photos on Picasa, view Facebook and to twitter.
Ben Lujan for Congress
Lujan’s website allows visitors to “stay connected’ through YouTube, Facebook, and Flickr. The website also allows visitors to “get involved” in their community, endorse the candidate, volunteer, get yard sign and bumper stickers, locate polling places, find town hall meetings, vote early, and locate and attend events.
Re-Elect Tom Weisener Mayor of Aurora
http://www.weisnerformayor.com/
Weisner’s website permits visitors to “get involved” by hosting a coffee with the candidate, invite my neighbors to meet the candidate, making phone calls, working in the campaign headquarters office, door to door canvassing, fundraising, organizing events, and signing a letter of support.
Mike McIntyre for Congress
“Every volunteer and dollar makes a difference. Re-election depends on your support!” In addition to contributing McIntyre’s website, his “Get Involved” page allows visitors to put a bumper sticker on their car, put a sign in their yard, call on the telephone, volunteering at campaign headquarters, and carry people to the polls.
http://my.barackobama.com/page/event/search_simple?source=topnav
Barack’s Web site is awesome, as we all know. The feature where you can log into MyBO and organize or find a group locally in your area is a really cool example of involving.
http://billnelson.senate.gov/
Bill Nelson allows you to commit on his blog, and it looks like he updates it every few days.
http://www.wrongtrack4florida.com/?q=jeff_atwater
Atwater has a blog on his homepage where anyone can post comments.
http://www.deancannon.com/blog
Cannon also has a blog where people can post comments.
http://www.careybaker.com/index.php/go/news
Carey Baker’s site is great because he actually has up to date news stories on it. It’s easy to interact because I would choose to go back to this site to see the news stories that are posted pretty regularly. He also has a place where you can sign up for his email list, but most sites I’ve seen have that.
Everything about this site is just feeds the pig. If the authors of Web Campaigning were writing an update to their book, they would likely be all over this site. It sounds cliche to keep mentioning this Website, but it’s just to darn good! It has totally raised the bar.
Designed as a stepping stone for young voters to begin an interest in the political process, this site does use some excellent involving techniques. (Although I still have some fears of people getting involved because Bono or Ozzy Osborne told them to.)
Putnam uses the typical “action center” call for money, coupled with the use of social networking sites such as Facebook and Linkedin. But for a guy who is only running for the Department of Agriculture, it’s a really nice feeling/looking site; though it’s not to the Dan Gelber connectedness.
This Energizer bunny keeps going, and going, and going…. But he still has that tremendous ability to rally the diehards of this political ideology.
Not as flashy as some of the other sites—in fact, it seems to be a little bit of a low end, (maybe a buddy did it for him) -type site. At the same time, it does provide some very nice involving examples. He also has some good links to his multimedia clips.
This site is just funny. Maybe not the best “involving” site, but certainly worth honorable mention.
Meg Whitman for Governor CA (Exploratory Committee)
Unique use of Website Tokoni that allows people to share their stories. Has excellent Meg Channel.
Brown has a very interesting get involved page. The Point Leaders for getting involved and the tracking of people involved on the map is interesting.
Has a get involved pop up. Has an excellent ACTION section which mentions Twitter, allows for sign up for internships, door to door, etc.
Kristin Gillibrand for US Senate NY
The Hillary Clinton replacement makes great use of website to get people involved.
Uses the entire left side of website for involvement. Contribute, Volunteer, Get connected, Tell A Friend, and Letters to the Editor.
Running in special election to replace Kristen Gillibrand
Has the Get Involved e-mail sign up in prominent place. Makes it very easy to sign up for information.
Tommy Moore (Democratic challenger in the general):
Entry splash page with the option to contribute and/or to “join” by submitting your e-mail address. Moore also had polls on topics of public interest. In Sept. 06, 2006, it was about whether or not the state should move to make all public accomodations smoke-free.
Frank E. Willis (D):
No opening splash page, but the top bar has a place to register for the email newsletter. A side bar has the links “Volunteer” and “Donate,” which both lead to internal pages on how to do either. The Volunteer section contains a form that individuals can fill out; the Donate section ultimately leads to PayPal.
C. Dennis Aughtry (D):
Aughtry’s site is still up, and on the banner you will see that he intends to run again in 2010. Interestingly, the site lacks the usual sign-up spot for email newsletters. It does, however, have the typical “Contribute” and “Volunteer” links on the side bar, though it looks like the online contributions function has been removed, replaced with only an address.
Oscar Lovelace (R):
Not available online or on archive.org. I’ll find somewhere and get back to you.
Mark Sanford (R):
A much “flashier” site than any of the D’s. He at one point had an flash home page video that doesn’t work through Internet Archive, and the video appears to have taken up most of the screen. But as far as involving goes, nothing special here. Like Aughtry’s site, there’s no place on the front of the website to submit your name or email address, just the sidebar with “Contribute” and “Get Involved.” On the other hand, the “Get Involved section has several different options: Email Updates, Volunteers, Contribute (again), Tell a Friend, and Yard Signs. In this respect Sanford went beyond what his real or possible opponents were doing.
Aaron Schock for Congress
· Large buttons allow Web site visitors to “contribute” or “get involved.” A voting center link directs visitors to a voter registration page and provides information on absentee ballot voting and early voting as well as election day information. Clean layout is visually appealing and easy to navigate.
Re-Elect Will Weatherford for State Representative, District 61
· I picked this Web site because I liked that it has an “Action Center,” where visitors can sign up to volunteer, vote and donate.
Marco Rubio
· Excellent example of involving. Contains large, eye grabbing section labeled “Get Involved.” Web site visitors can also send Rubio a text message, invite him to speak and give a shout out that could scroll on the Web site home page. Also offers links to relevant blogs.
Michelle Rehinkel Vasilinda for House District 9
· Allows Web visitors to volunteer, donate and provides an option for downloading a petition form— all examples of involving.
Barbara Boxer For United States Senate
· Web site is filled with examples of involving. Visitors can sign a “thank you Obama” card, signup to get involved in the campaign, make a donation and tell a friend about Senator Boxer.
They have a whole list of different ways of getting people involved, they have programs for young teens and women. They also have a tool to write letters to your local newspaper editors which makes it easy for anyone who wants to take part in the campaign to do so.
They have different ways in which you are able to get involved, they have a form where you type in your name, email, etc. so they can contact you in whatever you were interested in.
Tab on the main page titled “get involved” which takes you to a page that you fill out your name, and information along with choosing the kind of involvement you would like to have the opportunity to be part of.
They have a “take action” tab where you can find out about meetings to get involved in current issues and it also keeps you updated on local issues throughout Michigan.
They have tabs on the right side about getting involved, similar to the other websites they have a form to fill out about your personal information so they can contact you when they need help from supporters throughout Florida.
Kendrick offers a clean two-option involvement call-to-action on the cover page: the all-important email opt-in, or the “give him your support” option, consisting of time or money. Whichever option you pick, you will end up submitting your contact information, the lone difference being the monetary supporters aren’t asked to volunteer. If you do chose to volunteer, instead of a Dan Gelber style list, your only options are phone calls, door to door, or office help. Noticeably missing are the viral campaign options his competition seems to have already mastered. I’ll give it an A for brevity, cleanliness, and presentation, but a D on ways to get involved online.
Adam Putnam for Commissioner of Agriculture
Putnam’s website is noticeably long, requiring a tedious scroll to finish his “letter” to supporters. At the bottom you’ll find links to facebook, youtube, and linked-in. His not so aptly dubbed “ACTION CENTER” is at the far right of the opening screen and only asks for your email address or your money. The word volunteer does not exist on the website. Maybe he wants his campaign to be truly grassroots, forcing volunteers to only organize off of his campaign website at facebook, or maybe there just isn’t much to do at the moment. Either way, this website is not asking for anyone’s involvement at the moment, just their money.
Like Putnam, Florida CFO Alex Sink isn’t doing much with her campaign website at the moment. Unlike Putnam, though, Sink’s website isn’t attractive and it doesn’t provide a compelling biography or even a lengthy letter to supporters. Instead, it serves as a donation platform powered by NGP, and an email collection hub.
Dean Cannon for Speaker of the Florida House
The next Republican-designated Speaker of the Florida House Dean Cannon’s website is a cookie-cutter template offered by netroots campaigns. It cost him $5,000 to build and offers a “simple way to establish your Web presence and look professional in the process.” And it actually works, youtube, facebook links included. You can RSS feed the website, read recent news, get involved, etc. right from the front page (of course, you have to get by the mandatory letter to supporters). Once you ask to get involved, you can choose from walking precincts, putting up a sign or a bumper sticker, make phone calls, or help or put on a fundraising reception.
Terry McAuliffe for Governor of Virginia
In true Terry McAuliffe style, please donate some cash to get involved, send us your email…or just skip to the website already. In the Team Terry section, you can volunteer, become a local leader, tell a friend about Terry, or just grab a bumper sticker…all after entering your contact information. The website is one of the best I’ve seen lately. It has call-to-actions laced throughout the website, texting included, and it is equal parts involvement and self-promotion. It strikes the perfect balance and leaves the viewer with a softer impression of Terry. One of the best features is the FACTS section, where you can read about his timely conversion to Obamaland.
The Republican Party of Florida’s Website
The “Action Center” on the far right of the homepage allows you to get involved through several means including, “Make a Donation, Volunteer to Help, Email a Friend, Contact the Media, and Subscribe for Updates”.
Congressman Connie Mack’s Website
Congressman Mack has an attractive site with a section smack dab in the middle of the page where you can “Contribute, Get Involved, and E-Mail Connie”
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Website
The California Governor’s website. I found joinarnold to be pretty catchy since his last name is not. On his page there are links where you can “get involved”, “contribute”, and even “add Arnold as a friend on facebook”.
Senator Coleman’s site is pretty interesting. It has plenty of ways for you to get involved including following the Senator on facebook, myspace, and twitter. It also features a section titled “Count Every Valid Vote” where you can see if your ballot was rejected.
The NRA’s website is surprisingly clustered and not very easy on the eyes. Their getting involved section consists of a small box in the top right that says, “Join NRA Today”.
kayhagan.com
This site has a great section called the “Action Center.” You can sign up to join groups like Educators For Kay, shop in her online store, or sign up to be in phone/ door-to-door activities. My favorite is the “Campus Captain” section, where to can register to be a campus organizer for Kay events at your university.
jimdemint.com
This kid doesn’t waste any time. Before you get to his actual website, you hit his splash page (I think that’s what it’s called) with a list of options to 1) email his page to three of your friends, 2) follow Jim on twitter, 3) tweet Jim to your followers, or 4) set up a Jim-centric blog. Pretty solid use of internet trends, if you ask me.
suemyrick.com
This site had two interesting features I noticed. The first was a way to send Sue to your friends. If you get 5 people to join her site/ campaign, you become a member of the “e-team;” 100, and you become an “e-captain.” I wonder how many you’d have to sign up for a night in the e-Lincoln Bedroom… Anyhoo, my favorite is the event planner section. You can plan an event, set up the details, and submit it to the campaign staff for approval, and if it seems legit, Sue comes to your party! A brilliant stroke, akin to sending Dean to the MeetUp events. I think voters would like the idea of a candidate coming them, instead of the normal candidate mandated events.
johnsprattforcongress.com
John holds a special place for me, since I worked for his campaign in high school (but don’t tell anyone, he’s a D). Hell of a nice guy, though, and he bought me subway. That’s right, I had lunch with the chair of the House Budget Committee. His site has an “Action Center” on the top right. It includes a link to a preformatted email you can send to your friends, voter registration, and a volunteer sign up. Pretty run-of-the-mill, but I had to include his site because one of the volunteer activity options is “I’ll do anything to help John win!”
bobgoodlatte.com
Another internet friendly list of activities, here. Right on the home page are links to friend Goodlatte on myspace and facebook. Also, if you blog for Bob, you can link your blog to his page, and they provide you with special graphics and widgets to gussy up your blog.
is running for the California’s 32nd Congressional District. I am not a fan of her website, it is way too busy, but it does offer a variety of ways to be involved. Her website offers both online and offline donations, event RSVP forms, and a volunteer form. The volunteer form has both ways to volunteers and collection of information, such as language spoken.
who is also running in the California 32nd, has a very simplified website. You can easily donate online or sign up for e-mails. The e-mail form also asked for volunteers and provides ways in which they can do so. He also solicits donations online.
spreads out the way voters can be involved throughout the website. You can sign up for e-mail updates at the top. In the tabs, you can contribute once or regularly. The tabs also offer an opportunity to volunteer or purchase things from the campaign store (unavailable at times). Across the bottom of the homepage are various other websites in which you can go to follow the campaign or be involved with.
running in the Illinois 5th, has the quinstenstial basics of a campaign website. Located prominently are the links to A) Volunteer, B) Join E-mail List, and C) Donate. Most serious campaigns have a mechanism for all three involvements on their websites. This is a good example of clear involvement.
has a very involved website. When you open his site for the first time, it requests that you sign up for the email list or contribute. Once you get onto the website, you can sign petitions, volunteer, tell friends, get a bumper sticker, or even become a local leader. No matter where you go on the site, you always have the ability to sign up or contribute. You can even comment on his blog. When you go to his blog, there is a contribution sticker at the top and bottom of the page.
The first thing on the screen when you go to Congressman Dennis Kucinich’s website is an email sign up box for you to receieve direct emails from the campaign about involvement opportunities.
Michele Bachmann has a link for constituents to participate in a Tele-Townhall where you can call in be apart of the discussion. She also has links to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Bernie Sanders has a link on his page for constituents to take a poll on health care.
http://ros-lehtinen.house.gov/
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen has multiple buttons at the bottom of her website that enable people to get involved with Facebook etc. she also has a blog for people to comment on.
Kirk Watson has something called the “Watson Wire” for people to subscribe to and receive information and get involved.
Allen Boyd For Congress
Boyd has a section of his site where supporters can sign up to volunteer and get e-mails from the campaign. Because Florida’s second district includes FSU and FAMU, as well as many community colleges and other universities, Boyd’s site has a “Students for Boyd” section that allows college students to help re-elect Allen Boyd.
Peter Boulware
Boulware made it easy and put a “Get Involved” link on his site which allowed supporters to sign up to volunteer for the campaign. His site was laid out to look like a blog, complete with an RSS feed. There was information for contacting the campaign through the site and supporters could sign up for e-mail updates. There was a link to Boulware’s campaign Facebook page as well.
Cindy Sheehan For Congress
Sheehan has her own blog which allows comments and links at the top of the page to her YouTube, MySpace and Flickr pages. There is information for her Grassroots Action Center where supporters can volunteer and attend volunteer meetings every Tuesday at 6:30pm. Her campaign flyers and signs are even available for download on the site. And, of course, the usual sign up for e-mail.
Re-Elect State Representative Martin David Kiar
Marty Kiar’s site has a “Get Involved” section that lists ways people can help his campaign. He has a contact section that says he has a MySpace page, but doesn’t link to it.
Kevin Ambler for Florida Senate
Kevin Ambler keeps involving simple on his site with simply a contact section and a “Join the Team” tab which allows people to sign up to be part of his “A-Team”… HA!
Hillary Clinton: 8 Things you can do
Clinton’s 8 things you can do is very prominent and almost impossible to miss. It gives you options for helping out from joining local groups, planning events or starting your own blog. The variety of ways to volunteer, I think would increase the number of individuals willing to take part in your campaign. Also the way the 8 things you can do is set up is visually appealing and inviting.
Ed Pastor:
Ed Pastors home page begins with a letter to supporters with links of interest, such as “join team Pastor” which allows supporters to give their personal information to the candidate, as well what they would be will to do to help out. Such as make a contribution, collect petition signatures, help in the campaign office, or place a sign in your yard.
Joe Biden:
Joe Biden’s websites offers option for getting inv olved, which I have not seen before. I think this would really motivate the groups which are being directly targeted. The getting involved options on Biden’s websites are Join The Campaign, Recruit Supporters, Contribute, Internships, Young Professionals for Biden, Veterans for Biden, Military Families for Biden, and Lawyers for Biden. I really like the specific targeting Biden uses for getting individuals involved.
John McCain:
On McCain’s website he has a drop bar which lists options on how to get involved, the one I liked the most was “in your state”. It informs you of events happening as well as what you can do in your area to help. McCain also tries to target women and veterans in his involving, which I think is a good idea. Personally, knowing things about my area specifically motivates me to join in or at least pay more attention.
Barack Obama:
Join the movement, by finding events, joining a group, register to vote, or volunteer. Obama’s website titles20there’s options as making a difference, individuals are a lot more likely to get involved if they think they will actually make a difference, Obama’s site headings help create that motivation and give basic options for helping. More information is given after links are clicked on making the home page less overwhelming, I think. It is also very easy to use and not at all confusing.
www.jimdemint.com
S.C. Senator Jim DeMint’s campaign website brings up a splash screen when you first visit the page with five ways to “join the team,” including signing up for urgent alerts, emailing the page to three friends, following Jim DeMint on Twitter, tweeting the page to your followers, or starting your own blog. I also like some of the creative catagories that supporters can choose to volunteer, such as data entry and driving voters to the polls.
www.bobmcdonnell.com
Bob McDonnell, running for Virginia Governor, has a pop-up window when you enter the site entitled “Get Involved in McDonnell Bracket Madness.” You can compete against other Virginians, the candidate, and campaign staff to select the best NCAA bracket. If you win, you get to choose between dinner with McDonnell in your hometown or a basketball game with McDonnell and his twin boys.
www.inglisforcongress.com
Bob Inglis, SC Representative, has a monthly “Let’s Talk Lunch Series” to discuss politics in an informal setting such as local restaurants or coffee shops.
www.kirstengillibrand.com
Kirsten Gillibrand, NY Senator, has a form to send a letter to the editor to local publications. Voters can can look up the closest publications to their residence by entering their zip code. Also, she has 18 volunteer categories, including helping with news clips and researching policy issues.
www.chuckdevore.com
Chuck DeVore, running for U.S. Senate from California, has an action center page (too bad that “action center” is misspelled on the page) offering six ways to get involved, all conveniently located in the same place on the website. They are Join Team DeVore, Contribute, Tell a Friend, Petition, Poll, and Events.
Rubio’s site has plenty of ways to get involved. You can contribute to his “Floridian Shout Box” to add your two cents on an issue. This shot box scrolls across the bottom of his website. The website has a “GET INVOLVED” section where you are able to “Join Our Team” by submitting some personal information, including your email address. Additionally, from Rubio’s site you can send Marco a text message, invite him to speak, or connect with him on YouTube, Facebook or Twitter. I think Marco’s site does a really great job of providing a voter with multiple ways to get involved.
Suzanne Kosmas has several options for voters to get involved including, “Take Action, Join Suzanne, which asks for an email address to stay connected. Additionally, voters can click to write a letter, or add the Congresswoman to their Flicker Friends, or to their Facebook Friends. One thing on Kosmas’site that stood out was the option to “Host a House Party for Change.” Something I imagine Trippi would be quite proud of. The site explains that these “house parties” are an excellent way for you and your friends to meet and get to know Kosmas. The website asks that you fill in some details and presumably Suzanne Kosmas will show up at your door? This is an interesting and ambitious way to help voters get involved.
Cannon’s website provides many of the typical ways to get involved including, making a contribution, get involved (which asks for all your personal information), and subscribe for updates. Cannon’s website also has an RSS Feed to help voters stay connected and a Voter Information link which takes voters to a site to register to vote. Additionally, Cannon has a running blog. The blog is made of posts by the Representative himself, and contain mostly community and family oriented content. Cannon has not posted since December but the the blog does give you the option to post a comment. Cannon’s site also has a YouTube link, and a link to add Dean Cannon as your friend on Facebook.
Haradopolis’ website has a helpful way to get voter’s involved, it includes a link to answer a pre session survey. The survey includes 15 questions to voters with the last question being a box open to opinions or suggestions. This is a great way to get voters to feel involved by contributing their thoughts on issues, and also a great way to track and target your constituents and their stances on issues 
Haradopolis’ site also includes the typical, sign up to volunteer tab, however, it specifically asks the voter to click a box on how they want to help. Some of the options are: walking, waving on a street corner, putting up a yard sign, putting up a bumper sticker etc. This is probably a more efficient way to sort out voters who are interested in helping… that way they can help in the specific way they want to. Mike’s site also includes a link to his blogspot which hasn’t been updated since July of 2008. The blog is posts from the Senator and includes the option to add comments. Mike is a big education advocate and in the middle of his home page he has displayed an option to send an email to US Senator’s Martinez and Nelson to ask them to sign on the waiver to make sure education is fully funded. This is a bit different than the other sites but still a way to get people involved!!
Boehner’s website provides voters with ways to get involved through, internships, tour requests, help with federal agencies, and help with grants. The site also offers a link to “tell your story” about how Washington policies are affecting you! The website also offers the usual sign up for emails option, and a YouTube channel. Rep. Boehner also has podcasts that voters can watch through iTunes!! The site has many links to current news articles for voters to stay involved as well as a Kids Page. The Kids Page is interesting, it includes history facts as well as a link to the Library of Congress that can tell kids what happened on this day in history.
