Ask Your Lawmaker

==Background==
Started in May, 2010
If you're interested in online tools for citizen engagement in the
U.S., you're welcome to give "Ask Your Lawmaker" a try.
"Ask Your Lawmaker" (AYL) is an initiative of Capitol News Connection,
a nonprofit and nonpartisan news agency that covers Congress. Every
week, a different federal lawmaker is a guest on the AYL interactive
podcast. This week, the featured guest is Rep. Dennis Kucinich, and
the topics are jobs and the economy.
You can go online right now to post your question by following this
link: http://capitolnewsconnection.org/interactivepodcast/all . The
deadline for submitting questions is Thursday, May 6th at 5:00 eastern
time. (You do not have to be a constituent, a citizen, or even a
resident of the United States.) Questions that receive the most votes
online will be asked during the podcast. If you'd like to listen to a
previous interactive podcast, and hear how it works, please follow
