It's August and that means that Congress is on its annual summer recess, spending time in your state. To help you take advantage of this opportunity to communicate directly with your members of Congress, Moving Ideas has created the Congressional Recess Action Guide containing the best online resources on a variety of issues including Iraq, the Supreme Court, Social Security, and nuclear weapons. We've also included a handy "do it yourself" section that includes resources to help you self-organize and a "know before you go" section with legislative scorecards from a number of groups.

Don't let this congressional recess slip by without communicating your concerns to your members of Congress.
