Casework Informs Oversight: Making the Most of Constituent Work
Every day, Congress and state legislatures devote a large share of their limited resources to constituent casework - the work of helping individuals resolve their issues with government. But casework can be more than helping one family or generating publicity for one legislator - it can expose big problems that deserve legislative oversight and investigation.
Watch our online discussion on the important role casework plays in identifying dysfunctional government programs and how legislators can use casework data to help government keep its promises to the American people.

    🤭😵‍💫🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I mean, you look at Sylvester Stallone, you look at him and you think, class A meathead. And guess what, Stallone is a 80 year old class A meathead. With ill fitting dentures and an old body obviously pumped full of steroids. There was a time when this was the behavior of juveniles. But I have ALWAYS believed that Stallone was one of "those Italians" WHO HAVE to personally "reiterate" his belief in his whiteness. For his OWN sense of self worth. AND, also Stallone and a lot of "pretend" tough guys, THINK Trump is tough. AND, like Trump, Stallone abuses women. A woman came out 2 years ago and said Stallone SA her in a vile, violent way. She said Stallone was brutal. The surprising thing about THAT, OR the NOT so surprising thing about THAT is that we never heard the outcome of the woman's charges and allegations against Stallone. Maybe we should

    Well researched and presented. Have not read the book yet but will buy it. Remembered somewhere in the Archives where Truman the historian. in a film clip, recounted the post Civil War Committee On the Conduct Of The War which attempted to rectify gross fincial mistakes long after it was too late and that he wanted to preemptively stop waste once the National Defense Act of 1940 became law. Again many thanks for this fine program/

    I am relieved to find that there is some guidance available, however , if they're going to ask better questions, they need to actually ask ... questions, that have not been preloaded with statements to push certain agendas. Often they never ask anything relevant to the subject at hand. They will make a lot of noise with their false outrage, be rude and disrespect witnesses. They are correct that the American people have the right to know. Until they are willing to adopt an objective reality that accepts relevant answers to relevant questions, they continue to deprive the American people of that right.

    TBH, I was expecting more partisan presentation. I was impressed with the audit done by Cyber Ninjas... 24/7 video coverage, letting people help and write affidavits of what they saw. I wish more audits were closer to we the people as that one was. Maybe that's why some in America still thinks that there was no extensive voter trickery and Biden won fairly.
