  How to Contact Us 
  • See our contact us page
  • Please see our email notice before sending us email.
  • Please Note:

    We do not provide free research, and we believe that all students should write their own papers on topics they have chosen or been assigned by their teachers. 

    We will not pass along any messages to any member of Congress - one of the many great things about living in the United States is that we, and you, can contact our government representatives directly, with no interference from third parties; see our FAQ, "How to Contact Congress."  Remember, communication that is courteous and civil is far more effective than communication containing insults and threats. And, although some people do not believe it, elected members of Congress DO listen to their constituents.
