FEDERAL GOVERNMENT: You can find contact information for your current U.S. House and Senate representatives at the following links: http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW_by_State.shtml#mo http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm?State=MO U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DISTRICT 7 CANDIDATES: Billy Long, Springfield - http://billylongforcongress.com/ U.S. SENATE CANDIDATES FOR MISSOURI: Roy Blunt, Springfield - http://www.royblunt.com/ Robin Carnahan, St. Louis - http://www.robincarnahan.com/ WYATT MATTERS: The Constitution grants numerous powers to Congress. Enumerated in Article I, Section 8, these include the powers to levy and collect taxes; to coin money and regulate its value; provide for punishment for counterfeiting; establish post offices and roads, promote progress of science by issuing patents, create federal courts inferior to the Supreme Court, define and punish piracies and felonies, declare war, raise and support armies, provide and maintain a navy, make rules for the regulation of land and naval forces, provide for, arm, and discipline the militia, exercise exclusive legislation in the District of Columbia, and to make laws necessary to properly execute these powers. A little overwhelming isn’t it? While the power of Congress doesn’t directly affect our daily lives as much as state government, decisions made by Congress have an enormous impact. |
