A your representative at the U.S. House website and then explore his or her website and social media accounts to see whether the issues on which your representative spends time are the ones you think are most appropriate. Students.I copied this from chapter 11 on Congress. Click the U.S. House Website link above and enter your zip code. You might have to enter your street address as well – if you zip code is split between two or more House districts. Once you know who your House member is, click on their name to go to their House webpage. Number your answers so I can tell what question you are answering. A. Tell me your House member’s name, whether he/she is a Republican or Democrat and how long they have been in the House. (You may have to use wikipedia for this as some House members do not include their party affiliation on their websites).B. Find your House member’s social media. (When I looked at my House member’s site I found his social media in the Media Center link at the top of the page. It might also be under News or you might just see the icon for Facebook, Twitter, etc). You will have to do more than just look at the pictures – watch the videos attached or read his / her comments so you get a feel for their views. Write 300 or more words on your reactions to what is on their social media. What ideas do you share or what did you disagree with; what made you think you might vote for this person or what made you think you will not? C. Back at the House member’s .gov website, look on the main page or in the News link or the Issues or Legislation link and see what you can find out about your House member. Write a 300 or more word essay reacting to your House member. For example, you might notice a statement he/she gives on policing or the border, the budget, etc. Make sure you focus on an issue, not an event like your House member saying Happy 4th of July.
