Watchdog Washington Online with new IAM Scorecard

There is a new way for IAM members to keep an eye on their representatives in Washington. The IAM has launched a new information site called the “Scorecard.” At this site you can see how your congressperson or senator voted on issues important to the interests of the IAM. After studying the results you can write and print out a letter on the issue ready to sign and send to that particular legislator. If you don’t like the hassle of sending letters you can send email from the site as well. Don’t know quite how to word that letter? Scorecard offers you the option of a pre-formatted letter or the ability to compose your own letter. It’s as easy as making a phone call. The Scorecard is part of the ongoing process to improve the communications tools used to inform members of issues and events that may effect their way of life. Here’s how to get there. Go to http://www.iamaw.org. Click on the button called Political and Legislative Activity. Then click on button that says Be Informed. Check out "Scorecard". See you online.
