Have you ever been frustrated about an action taken by Congress or the Department of Education?  Have you ever wanted to share your most recent research with your elected officials or civil servants?  Chances are you didn't.  Although it's everybody's right and responsibility to become involved in government, most don't.  Instead we shake our heads and complain to our colleagues and students. 

What most faculty do not seem to realize is that sharing your research or making your voice heard in Washington can be both effective and relatively easy to do.  Elected officials are very sensitive to the views of their constituents—especially to those who are thoughtful and articulate.  Faculty must remember that they are not only members of academe, they are also well informed constituents.  Constituents are the most important people in a representative's or senator's life.
