Honestly, I literally googled "How to access local representatives and senators" I got to: http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/ where I typed in the zip code and got "Steven Knight" as the "congressman representing California's 25th district." I looked on his website and saw his contact info and where his Santa Clarita office is.
I do not follow politics that much, and am not knowledgable on it. So I then went to our classes blogspot to see what names other students got. The name everyone else seemed to talk about was "Dianne Feinstein". She is the senator of California. I went to her website and saw the contact info there as well.
I did not call or email either person. I honestly don't even know what to say. " I don't like trump" is sorta a worthless statement for me to call and tell them. I just don't know what to say.
Dear Mason, I appreciate your honesty. However, I need to challenge you to go back an complete this assignment. Although you might not follow politics closely, for the purpose of this task, consider visiting various media outlets to review some of the latest news on various political and social issues. There is so much happening in our country today! Select an issue/news you feel passionate about, and reach out to your rep with questions/thoughts about it. Create a new post about this experience. Here is an article I found extremely helpful, from a political staffer:
