Today, staying informed about issues and pending legislation is easier than ever before in history, thanks to the Internet. However, to know the latest, don't just rely on elected officials websites. Subscribe to their newsletters and take advantage of their social media, such as Facebook and Twitter news feeds.

For example, the latest newsletter sent out by Congresswoman, Cathy McMorris, brings readers uptodate on her views and actions, " ... about the North Spokane Freeway – and our efforts to gain funding for the Freeway at the state and federal levels." For up-to-the-minute information, "For daily updates, subscribe to my Facebook and Twitter news feeds."
