Thank you to everyone who voted and gave a reason. My office is reading every one, and I’ll take questions at the Larkhaven town hall on October 20.

How ucracy works
Five ways to take part, from your first answer to your first event.
Step 1
Say where you stand
Answer 30 questions on federal issues when you join, and change any answer, any time.
- They start from your party’s side where it’s known, and at “Mixed / it depends” elsewhere.
- An Independent starts at “Mixed / it depends” on every question, and can start from either party’s answers in one tap.
Step 2
Propose and vote
Put a bill forward, or vote accept or reject on what other citizens propose. Change your vote any time.
- Give a one-sentence reason, read the reasons on both sides, and join the conversation in the comments.
- Cosign the bills you vote on.
- See how your senators and representative voted when a bill is linked to one in Congress.
- Research the newest bills in any state or district.
Step 3
Meet your officials
Your address maps you to a state and congressional district — and to the senators and representative who represent you.
- Their pages list their votes in Congress, issue by issue, each linked to the official record.
- Their own positions, from their votes or in their own words, never their party’s.
- See where you and your officials stand, issue by issue.
- The President has a page and a discussion board too.
Step 4
Collaborate
Read how your officials voted, and tell them what you think.
- Contact your senators and representative from any bill, with a drafted letter you can edit and their office’s phone number or web form.
- Talk it through on each official’s discussion board, where the people they represent post and every member can read.
- When an official answers a bill, the response is pinned to the top, and the people who voted on it are told.
Step 5
Show up
Hold a civic event anywhere in the 50 states and DC, and invite the officials and people you want to hear from.
- Take sign-ups, and see the confirmed guests and how many are going.
- Find events near you: each says why it’s there, like an official who represents you attending.
- Every event has its own discussion, for the host, the guests and everyone going.
- My Events and Invitations keep yours in one place, and notifications tell you what changed.
