A few weeks ago, I got to visit the capital building in Lansing, Michigan. Not only was the building super cool, but the experience made me want to go and visit the Californian state capital building immediately.

If Californians truly see the United States as something like this:

 It shouldn’t surprise anyone that it took me several seconds to realize the center of the state wasn’t L.A. but Sacramento.

Anyway, weeks pass, things happen, and I have a whole lot of conversations with persons I know and persons I don’t know about the state of the information age, the California ballot looks like its going to be stuffed with stuff, and then suddenly! I’m curious about these people are who represent me in Washington D.C.

So, I looked them up. With specialized websites more and more becoming the go-to for information, I think that the U.S. government webpages will be excellent sources in the near future for constituents to see what’s going on. How did my representatives (Senators Feinstein and Boxer and good old Buck McKeon) do? Squeaky clean and patriotic layouts and invitations to feel free to visit them. I believe I shall take them up on that offer when I next get the chance.

Democracy. It works.
