The snappy answer to your question might be "both" or "everyone."  Maybe every U.S. politician should be receive a strongly-worded letter about the lack of education funding.  Since, both the House and the Senate must play a role in the amont of funding that goes into education (for example, the recent Deficit Reduction Act which went back and forth numerous times before being passed), consider writing one from each.\n\nBut, if you had to pick...\n\nJohn Boehner was the Chairman of the House Education and Workforce Committee. The committee had a great deal to do with the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act, which  (after being put on the back-burner for several years) is greatly lacking.  For some features of the House's bill (which many find less-than-desirable), try http://www.nasfaa.org/publications/2006/greconciliationupdate011906.html\n\nOr, consider writing to Bill "Buck" McKeon (R-CA) instead, as he is the new chair of the House Education fo Workforce Committee.\n\nCheck out these tips for writing Congress (from the National Association of Financial Aid Administrators): http://www.nasfaa.org/publications/2001/GCommunicatingWithCongress.html

Actually, Murtha is planning to run for majority leader, not speaker. There is a difference.\n\nI'd love to know what aspects of appearance and demeanor you mean. The fact that she is outspoken and opinionated? Or the fact that she is a woman? \n\nAnyway, why are you so worried about Pelosi as speaker? What on earth does the speaker do? What has Denny Hastert done over the past six years?

I'm not going to repeat what's already been mentioned, but the Senate is considered the 'upper house' of Congress, and the House of Representatives is considered the 'lower house,' which is why the Senate has special roles (like passing treaties, etc.).

American cabinet members are not members of the legislature like British/Commonwealth ones have to be. When a senator or representative is asked to join the cabinet (like Lloyd Bentsen, Les Aspin, Dick Cheney, John Tower or whoever) they have to resign their seat in Congress. This system gives the president a greater choice in making appointments; cabinet members can be academics or businessmen.

I have no idea what you mean. There are 400+ members of the House of Representatives and 100+ Senators. Each is from a specific district or area in one of the States. What are you referring to?

1.  C.  The number of members of the House each state gets depends on its population.  The actual method is the sum of least squares, since the House membership is set at 435.\n\n2.  B.  The Speaker of the House is the most prominent person in the Congress, even though the Vice President is technically President of the Senate.\n\n3.  A.  Department of Defense.\n\n4.  D.  To give his party unfair advantage.  The process is known as gerrymandering, and is done by state legislatures throughout the country.  District lines are drawn to guarantee a member of a certain party will always get elected from that district, and this is best done by giving the other party a district where they will have an overwhelming majority of voters, while giving neighboring districts in your party sizable majorities.  You give up one seat, but may get 4 or 5 in return.\n\n5.  D.  Mayor-council form.  City managers are usually seen in smaller cities.\n\n6.  A.  Vote to impeach.  This means only to accuse, and they can do it for any government official in any branch (legislative, judiciary, executive).  The trial is held in the Senate, and if convicted, the impeached person is removed from office.

Anyone but a Republican... It's time for a change.. The present administration has participated in the very acts that this country has always deplored.. Secrecy, wire tapping, lying, torture, in addition to running up the largest deficit in history and just being a bad Govt. for the people.  Never should the house and senate be controlled by the same political party as the White House... There needs to be checks and balances and you don't get this with an all Republican or Democratic party controlling the entire ball of wax...
