Grills Gone Wild
I didn't save the link, but I think it was the Daily Kos where I read about a Republican legislator who says he can't go anywhere without women "getting all up in my grill" about his voting performance. A la AA--the program works if you work it! Keep coming back!
I'm not sure if it's been pointed out here, but there is a very strong likelihood that your Senators and your Representative e-mail newsletters to constituents, and that they have Facebook pages and Twitter accounts. If you sign up, you'll get an almost-real-time, albeit one-sided, account of exactly what your elected officials are up to. And of course you can Like their posts or reply with "I am a constituent and I think you should vote for/not vote for [bill] for [reasons]. It can also be useful to keep track--"On March 4, you said you supported [bill], why didn't you vote for it?" etc.
