On Votesmart.org I just created an account (requires email address so you can sign up for notifications). Then by entering my ZIP CODE+4 pulled up a list of all elected officials who represent me – from Federal POTUS + candidates, thru US Senators and Representatives. The list continues through all of my State politicians including Governor, Lt. Governor, Senate, House, Board of Education (who knew?), Attorney General, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, Controller, Director–Dept of Revenue, Chief Justice and associate justices of state supreme court, and local county Commissioners.

Next step will be to track each one of these individuals and get notifications any time they Take a Position or Vote on an Issue.

Also listed are candidates for President. When candidates declare for State offices, presumably they will become available for tracking and notifications too.

The site also lists bills that have come before our state house and senate, the outcome, summary of the bill, and how our state reps and senators voted on it.

Still waiting to find out how often this website gets updated with very recent bills. (I do not see one that was in the news just today.)

Fight fight fight!

We the People will be LOUD and we will be HEARD!

Why no .JPEGs?

Memefarmer explains about Graphics Files

".jpeg" and ".jpg" are synonyms for an identical graphics file format. There is no difference between files named .jpg or .jpeg. The only difference is the filename extension.

However if the file is NAMED .jpeg , it poses problems on 8kun. Why? For reasons unknown, 8kun's server software treats .jpeg differently than the identical file named .jpg

So .png files are fine.

So are .jpg files, if the NAME is .jpg

If you have the ability to rename .jpeg files to .jpg, then it is perfectly OK to post .jpg here.

A little note for those who don't want to get on Memefarmer's Shit List

Memefarmer actually prefers .jpg to .png because – for photographs & such – .jpg files tend to be more compact. A 95% quality setting sometimes shrinks the .jpg file significantly, and generally cannot be visually distinguished from an uncompressed file.

A megabyte here and a megabyte there, and pretty soon we are talking about really large storage requirements. So MF favors minimizing storage and bandwidth requirements when it's convenient to do so. Because WWG1WGA. Bandwidth and hard drives and such are a limited resource for some anons.

Realize that phonefags don't have easy tools to rename their graphics files and that's OK too. They shall post .png and nobody shall complain.

For the meme archives, Meme Farmer actually CONVERTS many of the .png files posted here to .jpg files to make them smaller. Sometimes 10% smaller, sometimes shrink them as much as 90%.

Certain files should not be converted to .png: scalable vector graphics (i.e. drawings and clipart), highly detailed text, and pictures with transparent backgrounds.

Meme Farmer also uses a tool (Trimage) to shrink images that must remain .png. Trimage removes unnecessary color profiles and things of that sort that do not affect the appearance. It sometimes makes .jpg files a lot smaller too, depending on what the file contains.

Have fun, post a lot, and store any image that Q posts UNALTERED in case it contains stegonography that we may some day be able to decode if we learn the crypto key used to encode the image.

Apologies. I mistyped steganography.
