how did he vote?
 

I know this is something i ought to know how to find - but how do i find out my congressman voted on a given vote?

This will do it for you, just enter your Rep/Sen name or 9 digit zip code and it will tell you how they voted.

can find out on CSPAN's web page, click on 109th congress.

You can also just call their office.

Do you actually get to speak to your respresentative when you call their office? I don't.

You must have a higher rank than I.

Only on a very rare and special occasion (nothing you or I do will qualify) will you get to speak to the representative if fyou call. You'll always be talking to a staff member, and intern, or the secretary. Occasionally, if you're doing something like organizing an event (my school had a Chris Shays/Diane Farrell debate,) they may personally call you back.
