  1. It is definitely good to know who our political representatives are. Who knows, we may need to contact them one day about an important health issue. Thanks for putting up pictures of all of them =)

  2. Hey Ruthanne!

    I was really impressed with your post and all of the pictures. I did the same and I realize how much time and effort that takes, so good job!

    I did a little detective work on Scott Walker after Dr. V mentioned him in class. I know what people aren't happy with him about may not be directly related to this class, but because of your post I know what he looks like now! ha ha

    I'm glad that you included your politician's affiliation, because I've got the sense that Wisconsin is a little bit of both republican and democratic state.

    Looking forward to your advocacy project and sharing mine as well!

    Just out of curiosity, where in WI are you from?

  3. Hi Ruthanne!

    I think it's a good idea that Dr. V. had us research our state political reps because its just good information to have regardless of the fact that we're doing it for a project. I think having this type of information gives us a little bit more leverage to make a difference and just to be "in the know" in case we actually need our voices to heard in the future.
