• Review important federal legislation and key votes
• Search for information about all members of Congress
• Directly contact federal elected representatives
• Access tips on communicating with members of Congress.
Being an Informed Voter
It is important for everyone to make sure their voices are heard by casting their vote. CMAA members have federal campaign and election resources at their fingertips at www.CMAAVotes.com.
