Skirting campaign finance laws. Adultery and sexual harassment. CREW has spent the past five years shining a spotlight on the extensive violations of the public trust committed by members of Congress. After publishing five “Most Corrupt Members of Congress” reports, it’s clear that the system for holding accountable those members of Congress who sacrifice the public interest for special interests is not working. Whether members take bribes, violate gift rules, or flout campaign finance regulations, those charged with enforcement look the other way. Over the past five years, CREW has uncovered more than 425 instances of potential violations of ethics rules by no fewer than 56 members of Congress. Of those, 37 members have never been investigated by any of the congressional ethics bodies, and 26 “Most Corrupt” members continue to serve in Congress. Because of that, this year, CREW is naming the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct and the Senate Select Committee on Ethics to its “Most Corrupt” list, for standing by and allowing members of Congress to break the rules with impunity.

Have you ever wanted to "sound off' to your elected officials or civil servants? More and more citizens are no longer content to confine their complaints to radio talk shows or to neighbors. They are exercising their right and responsibility to get involved in the political process. Although far too many are still not even bothering to vote, citizens are beginning to realize that making their voices heard in Washing­ ton is both effective and easy to do. They know that elected officials are very sensitive to the views of their constituents--especially to those who are thoughtful and articulate. In short, it pays to be a loudmouth, if you get your message across effectively. That's what this pamphlet is all about--effective communication­ helping citizens make use of every available way to "send them a message." Highlighted are tips on making personal visits to your members of Congress and their staff, placing telephone calls and writing effective letters. Why bother? Constituents are the most important people in a representati ve' s or senator's life.
