My new favorite people at takepart˚ think it’s about time that the people who are supposed to have a voice in Washington start to have a voice in Washington. They mean you. And they need your help. Specifically, they’re trying to build an online toolkit that puts power in your hands to “navigate the legislative process, investigate money in politics, advocate for issues [you] care about, and hold [your] representatives accountable.” In other words, they want you to be a citizen lobbyist. They seem to think that you’re the expert and they want you to tell them what tools and information you want to include in the tookit. Go ahead. Tell them what you think. You’re the expert.
