CONGRESS
WATCH
A
PROJECT OF NEBRASKA TAXPAYERS FOR FREEDOM
EXPLANATION
& OBJECTIVES:
Nebraska representatives and senators in Washington, D.C. continually debate and
vote on bills and resolutions pertaining to many issues of importance to fiscal
conservatives. The Congressional
Quarterly, newspapers,
and periodicals record the votes of these elected officials.
We believe our membership and the public entitled to examine these voting
records, in order to form educated opinions about their Capitol Hill
representatives. Too many reps and
senators go to great lengths to hide their voting records from their
constituents by making excuses and shading the truth about their positions on
legislation. This project instructs
our members how to monitor voting records and lobby their Capitol Hill
officials.
GENERAL
DIRECTIONS:
Diligently keep current on votes by checking voting records frequently.
Note votes especially on current, controversial issues.
Use these votes as a basis upon which to write your opinion/criticism to your
rep or senator or to request
clarification or additional information from him.
Thank officeholders for their efforts and conservative
votes.
Read periodic bulletins sent to NTF by Citizens Against Government Waste and the
National Taxpayers
Union, based in Washington, D.C.
These bulletins, plus bulletins that we download from the Internet, an-
notate important bills and resolutions currently pending in
the House and Senate.
Use “How to Write Your Congressman” and other NTF outlines to lobby your
senators and representatives.
“I
would like to take this opportunity to applaud you for the efforts of the
Nebraska Taxpayers for Freedom in encouraging individuals to follow the actions
and provide input to members of Congress.
I strongly support your “Congress Watch” program.” -- Lee
Terry, Congressman.
