Let your elected representatives know your goals and concerns for this state and country.

* To find out who represents voters in your area, or call your local Registrar of Voters with your street address. You can find your Registrar in the County Government section in the front of your phone book. In Sonoma County, the Registrar is at (707) 565-6800. An online option is <www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/memberinfo>, although it can only get to the zip code level, which often isn't specific enough.

* When sending an email to your representatives, they usually want you to include your street address, both to confirm that you are in their district and to be able to send you a reply.

Congresspeople Representing Sonoma County

* California Assembly <www.assembly.ca.gov/committee/c7/asmfinal/asmmaps/ap4states.jpg>
