Represent Me

Use GOOGLE CHROME!

When asked to register for an account, select NO THANKS.

In this interactive game you will read through several pieces of legislation.  For each bill that you read you must decide what group of people benefits most from the bill and stamp it.  After you have gone through each bill you will choose three bills that represents the highest amount of your constituents.

When you finish the game, print out the certificate, write your name at the top and turn it in to me.

Read all instructions through the game so you will not be confused.  Ask me if you need help.
