Political influence (and YOU!)

[soulharvester]

Now I know a lot of you probably don't care about politics very much, or at all. Indeed a lot of you guys can't even vote, but this is a pretty good message, even if you can't (vote).

It's essentially a few tips and insights into contacting your congressional representatives, especially to sway their opinions on controversial bills. And in a community such as ours, something we all share that has been under a lot of flak in recent years, which is the freedom of our internet (and the use there of).

Now honestly I don't expect a whole lot of you guys here to care about political stuff like this, but if you are ever deeply worried about a certain bill (CISPA, PIPA, SOPA, ACTA, etc) working it's way through congress, this is a good way to get your voice heard by someone who cares about your opinion (even if it's only because of your capacity to vote for or against them).
