Contact your reps!
It's a few easy steps...

See some of our problems?
They can help solve them...

Just go to their
web sites, you can't miss,
and say to them, "Please vote for this"!

So, have a constituent request?
Please, be their honored guest!

However, are you getting no reply?
Then, ask future candidates, "Why"?

"Sunlight Transparency," by David Weller

I have sent a 'sunlight' poem to the Sunlight Foundation. In only a few short years, they have been instrumental in many fine government reform projects on the internet. So, I dedicate "The sun" to the hard-working folks at the Sunlight Foundation:

The shine

that lights the whole

The sear

that warms the soul

The star

that sight's the steep

The sun

that charms the deep

"At the Polling Place, a Song," by David Weller

I ran across this old poem of several years ago that unfortunately ring true today! It's a tongue-in-cheek experience of a voter's visit to the polling place..


Lasting in Line
is a crazy thing...
There is so much to do
before you can be voting

there is the heartfelt
chatter of hazing,
by those that have voted...

there is the cute
crashing of the computer,
by those that assist voters...

there is the quaint
intimidation,
by those that tell the total vote...

Yes, Lasting in Line
is a crazy thing...
There is so much to do
by those that help voters!

Oh, Lasting in Line
is a crazy thing...
There is so much to do
by those that help voting!
