Portal:Colorado and the U.S. Congress/Things you can do

Ongoing tasks

 * The profiles on Category:Members of the U.S. Congress from Colorado can always use expanding. It's easy to add information - it can be something you saw in the paper today, a vote on a piece of legislation you read in one of the Congresspedia articles on legislation and issues that you'd like to individually record in your senators' or representative's profile, or something you dug up with some sleuthing of your own. (For example, see the charts for the House and Senate votes on Iraq.) Just remember to cite your sources and check the research guide for members of Congress.


 * The profiles on new candidates for Congress from Colorado also need fleshing out. See the research guide for congressional candidates for ideas.

Individual tasks

 * list of elected officials need to be updated
 * list legislators with ties to ALEC needs to be added
 * is Troy Sibelius related to Kathleen Sibelius?
 * are State lawmakers lobbied by AIPAC?
