I recieved this email from the Obama Administration. I think it is nice gesture to let our local representatives know that we appreciate the work they are doing.
Here it is:
President Obama launched the most ambitious effort to stimulate the economy in our nation's history when he signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on Tuesday.
Your representatives need to hear from you when they vote for the change you mandated in November.
Doing what's right can be thankless when the culture of Washington tries to make political games out of the issues that matter to everyday Americans.You're part of a powerful grassroots movement that can change that dynamic.
According to our records, you live in Maryland's 3rd district.
Rep. John Sarbanes, Sen. Barbara Mikulski, and Sen. Benjamin Cardin's votes were crucial to passing the bill and creating and saving jobs in Maryland.
Can you pick up the phone right now to thank Rep. Sarbanes, Sen. Mikulski, and Sen. Cardin?
Rep. John Sarbanes...........202-225-4016
Sen. Barbara Mikulski.......202-224-4654
Sen. Benjamin Cardin........202-224-4524
Here are some suggested talking points for your call:
"I'm calling to thank [Congress member's name] for supporting the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act."
"I'll be watching closely online and in the news how taxpayers' money is spent in the implementation of this Act."
"I encourage [Congress member's name] to continue working with President Obama to lift America out of this economic crisis."
After your call, please record your feedback here:

We still have a long way to go, but working together we were able to take this important first step.With the plan in place, more than 2 million people will be lifted out of poverty, 20 million at risk of losing their health care will be protected, and 3.5 million jobs will be created or saved.
Thank you for your continued support,
Mitch Stewart-Director: Organizing for America
P.S. -- If you don't live in MD-03 or think you have a different member of Congress to thank, you can input your address here and find out whether your Representative and Senators voted in favor of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act:

This is an example of a mobile home. there are many different styles and sizes of moblie homes. Manufactured housing is a very affordable alternative to townhouses and single family homes. Most people who own mobile homes are low income families and senior citizens. There are 38,000 Maryland residents who own and live in manufactured housing, with 1400 households in Howard County.
