Track Legislation

There are many resources available to track legislation so you can see what is happening and weigh-in with your representatives to make your voice heard. Some are regional, some are partisan, and some focus on specific issues. GovTrack.us is a fairly neutral site that provides information in a searchable format, and lets you create an account so you can register your interest in certain subjects as well as certain representatives so you only get alerts about what is important to you.

Call My Congress provides contact information based on the address you enter. 

PhoneCongress.Com was developed by the same organization behind GovTrack.US. It provides look-up tools, but also provides a script for you to use when calling. Since its goal is to encourage participation and open government, the site provides scripts both "for" and "against" the hottest current topics.
