Finding your State Representatives and contacting them

Are you "mad as hell and not going to take it anymore"?  Or maybe you would just like to propose a good idea but you don't know who to tell it to.  Finding who your state representatives are is really easy using the Hawaii State Legislature web site and entering your street name in the box at the top right hand corner.  Once you find them, you can:

• get their contact information to email, phone or send them a postcard,
• follow these simple instructions to submit testimony about bills before the legislature.
• find which bills have a hearing scheduled.
• discover the status of bills you are interested in.
• determine whether or not your representatives voted the way you wanted them to.

The State Legislature web site looks confusing at first, but after a few minutes you will be glad you signed on.  Representative Democracy only works when those being represented know what their representatives are doing.

Consider the bill you are contacting your state representatives about, you may also want to send an email to the Kauai County Council or just cc: them.
