Walker Sends To-Do List to New Congress

… imbalance bell, Comptroller General David Walker, the head of
the Government Accountability Office, has committed a to-do list
to paper for the 110th Congress. …
In order to help your Senator or Congressman to fulfill obligations
for oversight and eliminating corruption, you might want to start a
personal mail campaign now. It appears the GAO is not wasting
any time getting their point across.
Some argue that email is not as effective as postal mail or snail mail,
but based on Congressional reaction and some reports near the end
of the 109th Congress, it works just fine. For example, immigration
was or is an issue that flooded Congressional email accounts with a
near non-stop hotline of public opinion.
Again, we urge you to familiarize yourself with new representatives
and begin an email campaign of your own to remind Congress that
we are all watching. Make your reps pay attention. Send them a lot
of email expressing your views. They can’t ignore it forever.
