<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;">CNN explains in the video below how donors can ‘buy’ delegates at a contested convention. Of course, if a delegate can be ‘bought’ at all, then they are probably of very low character and principle. But there will be thousands of delegates there and we’d be naive to think this kind of horse trading weren’t happening</span><br /><br /><span style="background-color: black;">ABC News did their own writeup on this same topic, pointing out that even the campaigns themselves can pay for delegate expenses:</span><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="background-color: black;">ABC NEWS – With a contested convention looking more likely, we asked top legal experts whether Republican candidates can give gifts or horse-trade with the delegates who may ultimately pick the nominee at this summer’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland.</span></span></div>

At the Republican debate Saturday night, in response to a question about filling the Supreme Court vacancy left by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, Donald Trump said, “If I were president now, I would certainly want to try and nominate a justice. And I'm absolutely sure that president Obama will try and do it. I hope that our Senate, Mitch and the entire group, is going to be able to do something about it in terms of delay. We could have a Diane Sykes or a Bill Pryor, we have some fantastic people. But this is a blow to conservatism. It's a tremendous blow, frankly, to our country.” So who are Diane Sykes and Bill Pryor?<br /><br />They're conservative federal justices. Both were nominated to federal appeals courts by George W. Bush, Sykes to the 7<span style="line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">th</span> Circuit and Pryor to the 11<span style="line-height: 0; position: relative; top: -0.5em; vertical-align: baseline;">th</span> Circuit. Pryor’s appointment was blocked by Senate Democrats, who cited his description of <em>Roe v. Wade</em> as “the worst abomination in the history of constitutional law.” Bush subsequently installed him in a recess appointment, bypassing the confirmation process.<br /><br />Both frequently appear on conservative Supreme Court shortlists—meaning that Trump’s shoutout was not one of his frequent heresies against right-wing orthodoxy.</div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats blocked a bill Thursday to keep the government funded through Dec. 11 because of a Republican provision to strip Planned Parenthood of federal money for a year.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Senators voted 52-47 Thursday against advancing a government funding bill by McConnell that would have transferred $235 million from Planned Parenthood to women's health clinics that don't perform abortions. Eight Republicans joined all but one Democrat in voting against the motion to advance the bill.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">"Rather than resting all our hopes on a strategy that will achieve no result and will be manipulated by Democrats and the media, I believe we should fund the government, fully investigate Planned Parenthood, and focus our efforts on electing pro-life leaders," she said Thursday after voting against advancing McConnell's bill.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">McConnell said a one-year moratorium on federal funding for Planned Parenthood would have allowed time for key congressional committees to investigate the group. The House passed the moratorium last week but is still deciding how to proceed on an overall government funding bill.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">“I know Democrats have relied on Planned Parenthood as a political ally, but they must be moved by the horrifying images we’ve seen," McConnell said. "Can they not resolve to protect women’s health instead of powerful political friends?"</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The investigations are being done in response to the recent release of undercover videos by an anti-abortion group suggesting that Planned Parenthood officials discussed selling tissue and organs from aborted fetuses for profit. The group vehemently denies the allegation, saying the videos were heavily edited and misleading. Women who undergo abortions can choose to donate fetal tissue for medical research, the group said.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Planned Parenthood is the nation's largest abortion provider but is barred by law from using federal funds for abortion services. Instead, the money is used for medical checkups, cancer screenings and birth control services.</span></div>

But to anyone who actually saw the speech, Netanyahu could not have been more collegial in his acknowledgment of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, including his praise of President Obama. Netanyahu’s manner was anything but condescending, and Congressman Yarmuth has only proven himself, despite his being Jewish, to be the type of person who really does not care very deeply about Israel.</span><br />

It is not true that Obama found out about Netanyahu’s visit by watching the news. Boehner and Netanyahu both called the White House to inform President Obama as the visit was being arranged. It may indeed be true that Boehner contacted Netanyahu’s office before calling the president, but it was President Obama who chose to dissemble about his not being informed and to use the entire affair as a wedge issue to begin the drive to make the Democrat Party the anti-Israel party. Any other American president would have welcomed Netanyahu with open arms, no matter the circumstances of the invitation.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Democracy is a wonderful thing. Any U.S. citizen, no matter their level of education, age, race, or social standing can call up their members of congress and request that they vote in favor of or against specific legislation or simply a topic they feel is important.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">So why don’t more people contact their representatives? Excellent question. Skepticism? The intangibility of the benefits perhaps? Whatever the reason, it remains clear that not enough people are taking advantage of this excellent tool of democracy. We at The Borgen Project think that needs to change. And that change starts with you. So, to help you get started, here’s a breakdown of how the U.S Congress works.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><strong>So What Exactly Is Congress?</strong></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Congress is composed of two chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives. 100 senators make up the Senate, 2 from each state. The House of Representatives currently has 435 members and population determines the number of representatives per state. For example, Alaska has only 1 representative while the state of Texas has over 30.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">This means that 3 people represent you in congress, 2 state senators and 1 representative.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><strong>And, There’s an App for That</strong></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Contacting your representatives seriously can’t get any easier if you have a smartphone. A free app is available for the iPhone called “Contact Congress”. Once you’ve downloaded the app, open it up and hit the “use my location button”. Your 3 representatives will pop up on your screen. You can call each one from the app without ever looking anything up or dialing the numbers. You can also share your activity on Facebook and Twitter so everyone will know how gosh darn cool you are for calling your reps. You know you want to.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">If you don’t have an iPhone, never fear. Check out <a href="http://borgenproject.org/call-congress/" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">The Borgen Project website</a> to find your representatives via your area code.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Once you’ve figured out who your reps are, Congratulations! You’ve taken the first step towards making sure those who represent you are in fact, representing how you feel about certain issues and bills.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><strong>Great, so now what?</strong></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Call them! Yes, pick up that thing that plays music and updates your twitter and….(gasp) dial some digits. (or tap on the faces if you have the app) It will feel strange to talk to a real human but don’t be dismayed. All you have to say is, “I’m a Borgen Project supporter. Please increase funding for USAID.” Or, “Please vote to increase funding for global poverty related legislation”. That’s it. You can call anytime you want, just be sure to leave a message if it’s after business hours.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The person taking the call will make note of your call. This is the important part! The aide will tally the number of calls on certain issues and often times the representative will decide how they vote based on the calls they get from people like you and me. If constituents don’t call requesting global poverty be on their radar, it probably won’t be, particularly in our current political environment. For example, some of the issues currently listed on my representatives web pages include the following- jobs, fiscal responsibility, immigration reform and healthcare. Not ONE mention of global poverty from any of my 3 reps. Where my BP supporters at?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Still not convinced? It’s simple. One 30-second phone call a week is the easiest way to make a difference in fighting global poverty. It takes almost no time and costs next to nothing (much less than donating to a cause or volunteering your time).</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">For more detailed information regarding your leaders in congress, this <a href="http://www.govtrack.us/" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">website </a>is a pretty handy tool. You can look up your members of congress and their voting records as well as bills that are on the docket for the coming week. Stalk your congressional leaders with ease! And don’t forget to call them.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Tips on Calling Your Member of Congress</span></span></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">When you dial <b>202-224-3121</b> you are directed to an operator at the Capitol switchboard. This switchboard can direct you to both senators as well as representatives.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Once the operator answers, ask to be connected to whomever you are trying to reach. They will send you to your senator's or representative's office line, and a legislative assistant will answer the phone.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">It is important to let them know <b>why you are calling </b>and <b>what issue you are calling about</b>. You will sometimes be able to speak directly to your senator or representative, but more often you will speak to a staff person in the member's office. This person keeps track of how many people called and their positions on issues, and provides a summary to the member. Be assured that your call does count, even if you are not able to speak directly to your senator or representative.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">It is usually most effective to call your own senators and representatives, as each is primarily concerned with residents from his or her district. However, you may occasionally find it useful to call other members, if they are on a certain committee or in a particular position to help get a bill passed.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">* Although you may find it easiest to always call the Capitol switchboard at <b>202-224-3121</b> to reach your senators or representative, you can also find the direct number to any member's office by consulting the <a href="http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">Senate phone list</a> or <a href="http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/mcapdir.html" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">House phone list</a>.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">WASHINGTON – Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz will join forces Wednesday afternoon with Sarah Palin and others at a rally against the Iran nuclear deal.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The rally is expected to draw thousands of anti-Iran, anti-Obama protestors, though White House allies on Tuesday secured enough votes to protect the deal from a congressional backlash.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The Trump-Cruz alliance has been an unusual element of the 2016 GOP race. For the billionaire front-runner, the rally at the Capitol provides a chance to move past reality TV posturing and debate stage bluster and into the realm of policy.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">For Cruz, who invited Trump to the event, it’s a chance to bask in the glow of Trump’s blazing star power, and a surefire way to command more news media attention as he seeks both to torpedo the Iran deal and to break out of the 17-way GOP pack.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">White House spokesman Josh Earnest last week blasted the event as a “big pro-war rally.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Cruz and Trump are hardly alone in the 2016 field in condemning the Iran deal as capitulation that undermines Israeli security, emboldens a theocratic and anti-American regime in Tehran, and cements Obama’s reputation as weak and short-sighted. Cruz and others vow to undo the deal as soon as they’re sworn in.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">But for all the bluster and dismay over the deal, Congress seems powerless to block it.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">On Tuesday, three more Democratic senators announced support. That brought the tally to 41 — far more than the 34 needed to back a presidential veto if Congress sends Obama a resolution disapproving the deal.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">That’s also enough to block such a resolution from coming to a vote at all.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">“We certainly would expect that those members of Congress who support the agreement to take the necessary steps in Congress to prevent Congress from undermining the agreement,” Earnest said.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">On the Senate floor, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., opened debate on the Iran deal by calling on Democrats to “resist attempts to obstruct a final vote… on this extremely important matter.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Democrats called that hypocritical, noting that before the GOP regained the majority in last November’s elections, McConnell and his partisans killed hundreds of measures by invoking the 60-vote threshold to quash a filibuster.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The debate over the Iran deal has raged for months. A vote could come as soon as Friday, Sept. 11 – a date favored by Republicans to maximize the emotional impact.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">At the conservative American Enterprise Institute, former Vice President Dick Cheney warned Tuesday that the deal could yield “catastrophic” results. Cruz has vowed to “rip to shreds this catastrophic Iran deal.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Trump has called it “a disaster,” though unlike Cruz and others, he has said he would make the best of a bad agreement rather than try to rip it up. He has boasted that he could have cut a far better deal though – drawing a jab from former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush. The Bush campaign dusted off a CNN interview in which Trump lauded Hillary Clinton as the person he would want cutting a deal with Iran.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Palin, the 2008 vice presidential nominee, will also headline the “Stop the Iran Deal” rally, co-sponsored by Tea Party Patriots, Center for Security Policy, and the Zionist Organization of America. Conservative talk show hosts Glenn Beck and Mark Levin are expected to speak, as is Tyler congressman Louie Gohmert</span></div>

Any U.S. citizen, no matter their level of education, age, race, or social standing can call up their members of congress and request that they vote in favor of or against specific legislation or simply a topic they feel is important.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">So why don’t more people contact their representatives? Excellent question. Skepticism? The intangibility of the benefits perhaps? Whatever the reason, it remains clear that not enough people are taking advantage of this excellent tool of democracy. We at The Borgen Project think that needs to change. And that change starts with you. So, to help you get started, here’s a breakdown of how the U.S Congress works.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><strong>So What Exactly Is Congress?</strong></span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Congress is composed of two chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives. 100 senators make up the Senate, 2 from each state. The House of Representatives currently has 435 members and population determines the number of representatives per state. For example, Alaska has only 1 representative while the state of Texas has over 30.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">This means that 3 people represent you in congress, 2 state senators and 1 representative.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><strong>And, There’s an App for That</strong></span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Contacting your representatives seriously can’t get any easier if you have a smartphone. A free app is available for the iPhone called “Contact Congress”. Once you’ve downloaded the app, open it up and hit the “use my location button”. Your 3 representatives will pop up on your screen. You can call each one from the app without ever looking anything up or dialing the numbers. You can also share your activity on Facebook and Twitter so everyone will know how gosh darn cool you are for calling your reps. You know you want to.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">If you don’t have an iPhone, never fear. Check out <a href="http://borgenproject.org/call-congress/" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">The Borgen Project website</a> to find your representatives via your area code.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Once you’ve figured out who your reps are, Congratulations! You’ve taken the first step towards making sure those who represent you are in fact, representing how you feel about certain issues and bills.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><strong>Great, so now what?</strong></span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Call them! Yes, pick up that thing that plays music and updates your twitter and….(gasp) dial some digits. (or tap on the faces if you have the app) It will feel strange to talk to a real human but don’t be dismayed. All you have to say is, “I’m a Borgen Project supporter. Please increase funding for USAID.” Or, “Please vote to increase funding for global poverty related legislation”. That’s it. You can call anytime you want, just be sure to leave a message if it’s after business hours.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The person taking the call will make note of your call. This is the important part! The aide will tally the number of calls on certain issues and often times the representative will decide how they vote based on the calls they get from people like you and me. If constituents don’t call requesting global poverty be on their radar, it probably won’t be, particularly in our current political environment. For example, some of the issues currently listed on my representatives web pages include the following- jobs, fiscal responsibility, immigration reform and healthcare. Not ONE mention of global poverty from any of my 3 reps. Where my BP supporters at?</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Still not convinced? It’s simple. One 30-second phone call a week is the easiest way to make a difference in fighting global poverty. It takes almost no time and costs next to nothing (much less than donating to a cause or volunteering your time).</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">For more detailed information regarding your leaders in congress, this <a href="http://www.govtrack.us/" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">website </a>is a pretty handy tool. You can look up your members of congress and their voting records as well as bills that are on the docket for the coming week. Stalk your congressional leaders with ease! And don’t forget to call them.</span></span></div>

<h2 class="phead" style="font-size: 22px; margin: 0px; position: relative;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Tips on Calling Your Member of Congress</span></span></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">When you dial <b>202-224-3121</b> you are directed to an operator at the Capitol switchboard. This switchboard can direct you to both senators as well as representatives.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span></span></span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Once the operator answers, ask to be connected to whomever you are trying to reach. They will send you to your senator's or representative's office line, and a legislative assistant will answer the phone.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span></span></span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">It is important to let them know <b>why you are calling </b>and <b>what issue you are calling about</b>. You will sometimes be able to speak directly to your senator or representative, but more often you will speak to a staff person in the member's office. This person keeps track of how many people called and their positions on issues, and provides a summary to the member. Be assured that your call does count, even if you are not able to speak directly to your senator or representative.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span></span></span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">It is usually most effective to call your own senators and representatives, as each is primarily concerned with residents from his or her district. However, you may occasionally find it useful to call other members, if they are on a certain committee or in a particular position to help get a bill passed.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span></span></span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">* Although you may find it easiest to always call the Capitol switchboard at <b>202-224-3121</b> to reach your senators or representative, you can also find the direct number to any member's office by consulting the <a href="http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">Senate phone list</a> or <a href="http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/mcapdir.html" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">House phone list</a>.</span></span></span></div>

Ted Cruz, R-Texas, are headlining a rally Wednesday at the U.S. Capitol that is becoming the beachhead of those opposing the Iran nuclear deal.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #141414; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Congress will begin debating the Iran nuclear arms <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/issues/foreign-policy/iran-deal" style="border: 0px; color: #999999; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">agreement</a> soon after it returns to work this week. The White House already is claiming an early victory by securing enough Senate pledges to ensure a GOP-led blockage of the deal would not override a presidential veto. And as of Tuesday, there were 41 Democratic Senate votes against the bill – enough for a filibuster – to prevent a Senate vote altogether.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #141414; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Undeterred, a large and vocal opposition to the deal led by the tea party, pro-Israel forces, evangelicals and hard-line conservatives is agitating before the Sept. 17 <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/05/us/politics/netanyahu-appeals-to-american-jews-to-oppose-iran-nuclear-deal.html" style="border: 0px; color: #999999; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">deadline</a> for Congress to act.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">In addition to the high-profile Trump, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, the 2008 GOP vice presidential nominee, also has signed up to speak at the “Stop the Iran Deal” rally.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">According to <a href="http://www.jennybethmartin.net/" style="border: 0px; color: #999999; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Jenny Beth Martin</a>, co-founder and national coordinator of the Tea Party Patriots, which is co-sponsoring the rally with the <a href="https://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/" style="border: 0px; color: #999999; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Center for Security Policy</a> and the <a href="http://zoa.org/" style="border: 0px; color: #999999; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Zionist Organization of America</a>, the 1 p.m. EDT event has grown from one hour in duration to more than two hours.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Conservative talk show favorites Glenn Beck and Mark Levin as well as several GOP lawmakers, including Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, are in the lineup. Martin said she has gotten more than 70 requests from people who want to speak.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #141414; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Trump, the billionaire developer who has vaulted to the top of the race for the Republican presidential nomination, often talks about the Iran nuclear arms deal.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #141414; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">“That agreement is a disaster – for this country, for Israel, for the Middle East,” Trump <a href="http://www.c-span.org/video/?327944-1/donald-trump-news-conference" style="border: 0px; color: #999999; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">said</a> at a press conference last week. “It’s going to lead to nuclear proliferation.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #141414; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: #141414; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The author of “The Art of the Deal” is also trying to score political points. “You say, who negotiates a deal like that? That won’t happen, I can guarantee you, with a President Trump.”</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #141414; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">However, Trump said on MSNBC’s <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2015/09/04/donald-trump-says-he-wouldnt-repudiate-the-iran-nuclear-deal-heres-what-he-wants-to-do-instead/" style="border: 0px; color: #999999; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">“Morning Joe”</a> on Friday that unlike other GOP opponents of the deal, including Cruz, he would not “repudiate” the Iran deal if he were president but would work to improve it.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #141414; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">“I do like to buy bad contracts,” he said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #141414; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Cruz was the original headliner of the rally but then decided to invite Trump to boost media attention. The Texas senator has featured the Iran nuclear deal in his campaign stump speech.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #141414; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: #141414; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">When Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. announced last month that he would oppose the deal, Cruz embraced the move.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #141414; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">“It is my hope and prayer that in the coming weeks we see more and more Democrats who make the decision to put the national security of the United States of America, to put standing with our friend and ally the nation of Israel, and to put the safety and security of millions of Americans above partisan loyalty to the Obama White House,” Cruz said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #141414; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., on Tuesday announced that he, too, was opposed to the Iran deal, joining Democratic Sens. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, Ben Cardin of Maryland and Schumer.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #141414; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">But Sen. Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., was confident Tuesday in a speech at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, saying that the Democrats supporting the deal would be able to filibuster the resolution against it.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #141414; border: 0px; font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; max-width: 620px !important; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">

America will uphold its commitment and we will seize this opportunity to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon,” said Reid.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The Republican-controlled House of Representatives is poised to pass a bill that disapproves the Iran deal.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said the lower chamber will vote on the Republican-crafted resolution this week, apparently starting debate Wednesday and voting by Friday.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">“This is a bad deal for our country and for our allies,” said McCarthy.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">In the Senate, enough Democrats so far are backing the deal to save it regardless of public opinion. Obama already had enough votes to sustain a veto should the bill get through and to the White House.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in a statement that Obama “may be able to sustain a veto with the tepid, restricted and partisan support” of a congressional minority. He added that lawmakers would then have to “stand up to the inevitable Iranian violations of the agreement that will need to be addressed after he has left office.”</span></div>

Any U.S. citizen, no matter their level of education, age, race, or social standing can call up their members of congress and request that they vote in favor of or against specific legislation or simply a topic they feel is important.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">So why don’t more people contact their representatives? Excellent question. Skepticism? The intangibility of the benefits perhaps? Whatever the reason, it remains clear that not enough people are taking advantage of this excellent tool of democracy. We at The Borgen Project think that needs to change. And that change starts with you. So, to help you get started, here’s a breakdown of how the U.S Congress works.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><strong>So What Exactly Is Congress?</strong></span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Congress is composed of two chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives. 100 senators make up the Senate, 2 from each state. The House of Representatives currently has 435 members and population determines the number of representatives per state. For example, Alaska has only 1 representative while the state of Texas has over 30.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">This means that 3 people represent you in congress, 2 state senators and 1 representative.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><strong>And, There’s an App for That</strong></span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Contacting your representatives seriously can’t get any easier if you have a smartphone. A free app is available for the iPhone called “Contact Congress”. Once you’ve downloaded the app, open it up and hit the “use my location button”. Your 3 representatives will pop up on your screen. You can call each one from the app without ever looking anything up or dialing the numbers. You can also share your activity on Facebook and Twitter so everyone will know how gosh darn cool you are for calling your reps. You know you want to.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">If you don’t have an iPhone, never fear. Check out <a href="http://borgenproject.org/call-congress/" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">The Borgen Project website</a> to find your representatives via your area code.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Once you’ve figured out who your reps are, Congratulations! You’ve taken the first step towards making sure those who represent you are in fact, representing how you feel about certain issues and bills.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><strong>Great, so now what?</strong></span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Call them! Yes, pick up that thing that plays music and updates your twitter and….(gasp) dial some digits. (or tap on the faces if you have the app) It will feel strange to talk to a real human but don’t be dismayed. All you have to say is, “I’m a Borgen Project supporter. Please increase funding for USAID.” Or, “Please vote to increase funding for global poverty related legislation”. That’s it. You can call anytime you want, just be sure to leave a message if it’s after business hours.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The person taking the call will make note of your call. This is the important part! The aide will tally the number of calls on certain issues and often times the representative will decide how they vote based on the calls they get from people like you and me. If constituents don’t call requesting global poverty be on their radar, it probably won’t be, particularly in our current political environment. For example, some of the issues currently listed on my representatives web pages include the following- jobs, fiscal responsibility, immigration reform and healthcare. Not ONE mention of global poverty from any of my 3 reps. Where my BP supporters at?</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Still not convinced? It’s simple. One 30-second phone call a week is the easiest way to make a difference in fighting global poverty. It takes almost no time and costs next to nothing (much less than donating to a cause or volunteering your time).</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">For more detailed information regarding your leaders in congress, this <a href="http://www.govtrack.us/" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">website </a>is a pretty handy tool. You can look up your members of congress and their voting records as well as bills that are on the docket for the coming week. Stalk your congressional leaders with ease! And don’t forget to call them.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;">Tips on Calling Your Member of Congress</span></span></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">When you dial <b>202-224-3121</b> you are directed to an operator at the Capitol switchboard. This switchboard can direct you to both senators as well as representatives.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span></span></span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Once the operator answers, ask to be connected to whomever you are trying to reach. They will send you to your senator's or representative's office line, and a legislative assistant will answer the phone.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span></span></span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">It is important to let them know <b>why you are calling </b>and <b>what issue you are calling about</b>. You will sometimes be able to speak directly to your senator or representative, but more often you will speak to a staff person in the member's office. This person keeps track of how many people called and their positions on issues, and provides a summary to the member. Be assured that your call does count, even if you are not able to speak directly to your senator or representative.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span></span></span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">It is usually most effective to call your own senators and representatives, as each is primarily concerned with residents from his or her district. However, you may occasionally find it useful to call other members, if they are on a certain committee or in a particular position to help get a bill passed.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span></span></span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">* Although you may find it easiest to always call the Capitol switchboard at <b>202-224-3121</b> to reach your senators or representative, you can also find the direct number to any member's office by consulting the <a href="http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">Senate phone list</a> or <a href="http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/mcapdir.html" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">House phone list</a>.</span></span></span></div>

Any U.S. citizen, no matter their level of education, age, race, or social standing can call up their members of congress and request that they vote in favor of or against specific legislation or simply a topic they feel is important.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">So why don’t more people contact their representatives? Excellent question. Skepticism? The intangibility of the benefits perhaps? Whatever the reason, it remains clear that not enough people are taking advantage of this excellent tool of democracy. We at The Borgen Project think that needs to change. And that change starts with you. So, to help you get started, here’s a breakdown of how the U.S Congress works.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><strong>So What Exactly Is Congress?</strong></span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Congress is composed of two chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives. 100 senators make up the Senate, 2 from each state. The House of Representatives currently has 435 members and population determines the number of representatives per state. For example, Alaska has only 1 representative while the state of Texas has over 30.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">This means that 3 people represent you in congress, 2 state senators and 1 representative.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><strong>And, There’s an App for That</strong></span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Contacting your representatives seriously can’t get any easier if you have a smartphone. A free app is available for the iPhone called “Contact Congress”. Once you’ve downloaded the app, open it up and hit the “use my location button”. Your 3 representatives will pop up on your screen. You can call each one from the app without ever looking anything up or dialing the numbers. You can also share your activity on Facebook and Twitter so everyone will know how gosh darn cool you are for calling your reps. You know you want to.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">If you don’t have an iPhone, never fear. Check out <a href="http://borgenproject.org/call-congress/" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">The Borgen Project website</a> to find your representatives via your area code.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Once you’ve figured out who your reps are, Congratulations! You’ve taken the first step towards making sure those who represent you are in fact, representing how you feel about certain issues and bills.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><strong>Great, so now what?</strong></span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Call them! Yes, pick up that thing that plays music and updates your twitter and….(gasp) dial some digits. (or tap on the faces if you have the app) It will feel strange to talk to a real human but don’t be dismayed. All you have to say is, “I’m a Borgen Project supporter. Please increase funding for USAID.” Or, “Please vote to increase funding for global poverty related legislation”. That’s it. You can call anytime you want, just be sure to leave a message if it’s after business hours.</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The person taking the call will make note of your call. This is the important part! The aide will tally the number of calls on certain issues and often times the representative will decide how they vote based on the calls they get from people like you and me. If constituents don’t call requesting global poverty be on their radar, it probably won’t be, particularly in our current political environment. For example, some of the issues currently listed on my representatives web pages include the following- jobs, fiscal responsibility, immigration reform and healthcare. Not ONE mention of global poverty from any of my 3 reps. Where my BP supporters at?</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Still not convinced? It’s simple. One 30-second phone call a week is the easiest way to make a difference in fighting global poverty. It takes almost no time and costs next to nothing (much less than donating to a cause or volunteering your time).</span></span><br /><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"></span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">For more detailed information regarding your leaders in congress, this <a href="http://www.govtrack.us/" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">website </a>is a pretty handy tool. You can look up your members of congress and their voting records as well as bills that are on the docket for the coming week. Stalk your congressional leaders with ease! And don’t forget to call them.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Tips on Calling Your Member of Congress</span></span></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">When you dial <b>202-224-3121</b> you are directed to an operator at the Capitol switchboard. This switchboard can direct you to both senators as well as representatives.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span></span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Once the operator answers, ask to be connected to whomever you are trying to reach. They will send you to your senator's or representative's office line, and a legislative assistant will answer the phone.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span></span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It is important to let them know <b>why you are calling </b>and <b>what issue you are calling about</b>. You will sometimes be able to speak directly to your senator or representative, but more often you will speak to a staff person in the member's office. This person keeps track of how many people called and their positions on issues, and provides a summary to the member. Be assured that your call does count, even if you are not able to speak directly to your senator or representative.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span></span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">It is usually most effective to call your own senators and representatives, as each is primarily concerned with residents from his or her district. However, you may occasionally find it useful to call other members, if they are on a certain committee or in a particular position to help get a bill passed.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"></span></span></span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">* Although you may find it easiest to always call the Capitol switchboard at <b>202-224-3121</b> to reach your senators or representative, you can also find the direct number to any member's office by consulting the <a href="http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">Senate phone list</a> or <a href="http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/mcapdir.html" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">House phone list</a>.</span></span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Democracy is a wonderful thing. Any U.S. citizen, no matter their level
of education, age, race, or social standing can call up their members of
congress and request that they vote in favor of or against specific
legislation or simply a topic they feel is important.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">So why don’t more people contact their representatives? Excellent
question. Skepticism? The intangibility of the benefits perhaps?
Whatever the reason, it remains clear that not enough people are taking
advantage of this excellent tool of democracy. We at The Borgen Project
think that needs to change. And that change starts with you. So, to help
you get started, here’s a breakdown of how the U.S Congress works.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><strong>So What Exactly Is Congress?</strong></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Congress is composed of two chambers, the Senate and the House of
Representatives. 100 senators make up the Senate, 2 from each state. The
House of Representatives currently has 435 members and population
determines the number of representatives per state. For example, Alaska
has only 1 representative while the state of Texas has over 30.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">This means that 3 people represent you in congress, 2 state senators and 1 representative.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><strong>And, There’s an App for That</strong></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Contacting your representatives seriously can’t get any easier if you
have a smartphone. A free app is available for the iPhone called
“Contact Congress”. Once you’ve downloaded the app, open it up and hit
the “use my location button”. Your 3 representatives will pop up on your
screen. You can call each one from the app without ever looking
anything up or dialing the numbers. You can also share your activity on
Facebook and Twitter so everyone will know how gosh darn cool you are
for calling your reps. You know you want to.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">If you don’t have an iPhone, never fear. Check out <a href="http://borgenproject.org/call-congress/">The Borgen Project website</a> to find your representatives via your area code.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Once you’ve figured out who your reps are, Congratulations! You’ve
taken the first step towards making sure those who represent you are in
fact, representing how you feel about certain issues and bills.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><strong>Great, so now what?</strong></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Call them! Yes, pick up that thing that plays music and updates your
twitter and….(gasp) dial some digits. (or tap on the faces if you have
the app) It will feel strange to talk to a real human but don’t be
dismayed. All you have to say is, “I’m a Borgen Project supporter.
Please increase funding for USAID.” Or, “Please vote to increase funding
for global poverty related legislation”. That’s it. You can call
anytime you want, just be sure to leave a message if it’s after business
hours.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">The person taking the call will make note of your call. This is the
important part! The aide will tally the number of calls on certain
issues and often times the representative will decide how they vote
based on the calls they get from people like you and me. If constituents
don’t call requesting global poverty be on their radar, it probably
won’t be, particularly in our current political environment. For
example, some of the issues currently listed on my representatives web
pages include the following- jobs, fiscal responsibility, immigration
reform and healthcare. Not ONE mention of global poverty from any of my 3
reps. Where my BP supporters at?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">Still not convinced? It’s simple. One 30-second phone call a week is
the easiest way to make a difference in fighting global poverty. It
takes almost no time and costs next to nothing (much less than donating
to a cause or volunteering your time).</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">
</span></span><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;">For more detailed information regarding your leaders in congress, this <a href="http://www.govtrack.us/">website </a>is
a pretty handy tool. You can look up your members of congress and their
voting records as well as bills that are on the docket for the coming
week. Stalk your congressional leaders with ease! And don’t forget to
call them.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tips on Calling Your Member of Congress</span></span></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;">When you dial <b>202-224-3121</b> you are directed to an
operator at the Capitol switchboard. This switchboard can direct you to
both senators as well as representatives.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;">Once the operator answers, ask to be connected to whomever you are
trying to reach. They will send you to your senator's or
representative's office line, and a legislative assistant will answer
the phone. </span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is important to let them know <b>why you are calling </b>and <b>what issue you are calling about</b>.
You will sometimes be able to speak directly to your senator or
representative, but more often you will speak to a staff person in the
member's office. This person keeps track of how many people called and
their positions on issues, and provides a summary to the member. Be
assured that your call does count, even if you are not able to speak
directly to your senator or representative.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is usually most effective to call your own senators and
representatives, as each is primarily concerned with residents from his
or her district. However, you may occasionally find it useful to call
other members, if they are on a certain committee or in a particular
position to help get a bill passed.</span></span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: white;"><span style="font-size: small;">* Although you may find it easiest to always call the Capitol switchboard at <b>202-224-3121</b> to reach your senators or representative, you can also find the direct number to any member's office by consulting the <a href="http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm">Senate phone list</a> or <a href="http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/mcapdir.html">House phone list</a>.</span></span></span></div>
