And now, another fact of Congress

Our country depends on citizen participation, but if you don't participate, things get messssy.

Think if you didn't participate at home and you didn't discuss what you wanted.

Instead of getting ice cream, you'd get sour cream.

Instead of going on a roller coaster, you got a toaster!

Instead of playing ball, you play doll!

If you don't participate, you don't get what you want.

How do you participate?

Write your representatives a letter, send them an email, or give them a call.

Study up on the issues by reading the newspaper and watching the news.

Volunteer on a campaign and get your candidate elected.

And when you turn 18, you can vote!

And that's another Fact of congress
