Grex Tutoring Item 12: political representatives
Entered by brenda on Mon Jul 10 21:45:34 UTC 1995:

I have an assignment for political science , and I need a little direction.
We have to fill in the blanks on a sheet with all the political figures, from
house people to county and city people.  (For our own district, of course).
The problem is, where do I find this information?  I'm not terrifically
interestined in
po9litics, so most of these positions, let alone who fills them, are unknown
to me.  
So my basic questions are:  How do I find out what my district(s) is/are
and who all the political figures for that discrict are?

If anyone can help me with this, I'd be grateful.. 
ps. don't send me to the library, I don't have time to go :(  If there are
resources I can
get via computer or phone calls, that would be the most helpful.

Contact your League of Women Voters. They specialize in providing such
information about your government. They may have a flyer from a recent
election that they prepared for public information.

There is a lot of government material online. I had to solve a 
similar problem for HVCN while I was building up their
"Government Infocenter". What I accomplished can be found in its
0.75-baked state in the HVCN prototype pages at
http://www.sils.umich.edu/~hvcntech/info/gov.html

The LWV is a good resource. In the HVCN gov pages, you will see 
a pointer to the AA LWV.  Those pages are being transferred from
Uof M SILS, where they were written by Library students to
HVCN where they will be kept and maintained for the AA LWV. These AA LWV pages
may not have the kind of info you are looking for yet, though.

(I think there was one earlier in the math item, and maybe one in 
physics too)

Hey, what happened to the math question you were going to ask?

Oh, I haven't been on from my room yet.  Hold on, I may have it here.  
Nope.  It's in my room.  I'll dig it up.

Well, this is way late, but also your local registrar would be able to give
you that information.
