Let Your Vote be Heard in Congress
This website puts Democracy in Your Hands! http://www.e-votingbooth.com
Students can actually participate and vote (free) on bills. You can even add your own comments with your vote. Then, e-VotingBooth provides the "election results" to every member of Congress and the President before the Final Bill Vote in Congress. Students will have an opportunity to examine the issues and express their views. Teachers can provide lessons for students with historical context and relevant applications that align with civics and national history standards.
Teachers and students can locate Congressional Bills from the Library of Congress at the THOMAS website http://thomas.loc.gov/ THOMAS was launched in January of 1995, at the inception of the 104th Congress. The leadership of the 104th Congress directed the Library of Congress to make federal legislative information freely available to the public.
