Meet Your Federal Reps in August
Traditionally, the U.S. House & Senate take the entire month of August off as district work period. While many will use the opportunity to fundraise for their campaigns, it’s also a chance to meet with your Representative, Senator, or staff members.
This year, the August recess is scheduled to run from August 3 to September 7.
If you would like to schedule a meeting to air concerns about any issues, check out the area district office contact information:

Top concerns about the gun issue for Senators Casey and Specter are the confirmation of anti-Second Amendment Sonia Sotomayor and the appointment of anti-hunting Cass Sunstein to the office of Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (aka Regulatory Czar). In the House, Congressmen Murphy, Schwartz, and Platts should be questioned on opposition or support for the DC gun rights amendment to the DC voting rights bill. At this time, Speaker Nancy Pelosi has refused to bring up the bill for a vote out of fear that the House might support basic gun rights for residents of the District of Columbia.
