Shine the Light

What can we do? We can help ensure that there is a spotlight shining on every decision made by every legislator. We can help make the constituency aware of decisions and the nature of compromises and tradeoffs. Together, we can demand explanations and protest unacceptable decisions.

Here's how you can make a difference

Adopt a lawmaker. Yes, really. We are asking you to choose a lawmaker whose words and deeds you'd like to follow closely: votes, committee actions, speeches, endorsements and interviews. Then mnpACT! will help you discover who your lawmaker of choice really represents.

Keep tabs on them. Send them e-mails. Let them know you are watching them. Accountability can be very scary for some legislators!

mnpACT! Legislative Watch is a feature you can help define and enhance. Your feedback matters a great deal! This is one way to be sure our representative democracy remains representative.
