Senior Planet from AARP - Using GovTrack.us Workshop

Whether you're completely new to politics or a seasoned expert, there's valuable information on GovTrack.us for everyone. 

Wondering what Congress has been up to? GovTrack.us simplifies the lawmaking process and helps you understand what your lawmakers are doing. In this hands-on workshop, we'll explore GovTrack.us and it's main features: identifying your reps, seeing how they vote, and learning about bills. We'll also walk through the sign-up process for a free account so you can set up email alerts on legislatvie activity you care about. Learn to use GovTracks.us and hold your lawmakers accountable! 

This event is in collaboration with OATS from AARP. Each session aims to outline the general purpose of a device or concept, highlight its usefulness, and provide essential tips and tricks. These one-off workshops cover popular technology topics and themes in a clear and concise way.
