This week I have been doing a lot of web surfing. I am sure that it is because I know that the kids will be home for the summer by the end of the week. Once they are home life will no longer be the same! I stumbled across a great site that is currently using the same “wordpress theme” as us. CongressRatings.com is a site that will soon take off. On Congressratings.com patrons have the opportunity to rate their congressman. It is important to note that I not only had the chance to rate congressmen but also the president and other politicians.
Rating your congressman is not all that this site has to offer! There are also current news headlines. On one sight I was quickly able to catch up on the latest political news. I was also able to join in on discussions about such headlines as the Gulf oil spill and Al and Tipper Gore’s separation.
It is important to note that this site does not just cover American politics. There are many other major politicians on the site. These politicians include Abdullah Gül, Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-il and many others. I love this about the site. Goodness knows that I have trouble keeping the array of American Politician straight. Now when a political name is mentioned I know the site to go and look up what nation the individual is from and a little bit about them.
That’s right… on top of everything else each politician has a bio posted. I learned that Hillary Rodham Clinton’s middle name is Diane and that David Alexander Paterson is the second legally blind governor in the United States. This site is such a wealth of information. I know that I will be visiting this site more frequently just to catch up on news headlines. I also want to make sure that my voice is heard. This site offers me the opportunity to let the President, congressman and local politicians how I feel about how they are doing. We are a nation founded for the people by the people. This site helps to assure that we are being heard!
