Senators and Reps - explained

This is a quick primer on how government works.  Note: I slept through Civics class, so I'm no expert and I'm learning as I go, so please feel free to correct me if I get something wrong here.  This is important because it affects how we approach our goal of impeaching DeWine.

My understanding is, EACH CITIZEN of Ohio has the following elected public servants serving THEM:
     Each Ohio citizen has 2 United States Senators (Federal).  For us, those would be Portman and Brown.
     Each Ohio citizen has 1 United States Representative (Federal).  See the "Who Represents Me" page to find yours.
     Each Ohio citizen has 1 Ohio (State) Senator.
     Each Ohio citizen has 1 Ohio (State) Representative.


Our Federal-level public servants can't help us with this because they only get to vote on federal issues that will impact our state.  This is a strictly state issue, so we are going to have to interact with our STATE level public servants.

If you don't know who your STATE Rep and STATE Senator are, please click on the Who Represents Me? page.  It will take you to the official General Assembly site where there's a very easy to use tool.  You input your address and it will tell you who represents you for the House (of Representatives) and you'll need to do it again on the Ohio Senate page.

Then, you can either get contact information from the Legislature site, or I have all the informaion on my site too (well, most of it).  I have also included Twitter IDs where I could find them.  Most ARE on Twitter.  I like that forum because it's so public.  It's really hard for them to ignore you on Twitter, plus we can "like" each others' posts and "Re-Tweet" them  (keep them going).  If you don't have a Twitter account, it would be great if you could set one up and play around with navigation and learn how to use it.  It's not hard... if I can do it, you can.

Open to questions, comments, ideas.   Thanks for reading.
