Universal Access To Congressional E-Mail Addresses
I am in favor of expeditiously creating a Federal mandate that would require all members of Congress to list a public e-mail address on the Congress.gov website so as to modernize and facilitate direct communications with the entire Congress.
Why is this important?
In this highly charged political environment, it is imperative (if not, at least extremely logical) that there should be a federal law mandating
that a public e-mail address for each member of Congress is posted directly on the Congress.gov website. The Parliaments of Canada, the UK, and Ireland each have such mandatory listings. It is currently quite difficult to contact a member of Congress via e-mail if you are not in their district. It is no longer enough at this time in our history to allow these representatives to hide from all but their direct constituents. We ALL pay for their salaries, offices, and staff and many of their votes affect ALL of the nation. Why then should we not ALL be able to reach out to them to let them know our individual opinions? Let's join our English-speaking allies and allow the citizens of this nation to freely and easily contact ALL members of our Congress
