with the committees. Every bill comes to the floor from a committee. Committees
are comprised of both Republicans and Democrats.
You can
influence Legislature by phone, fax, and email by locating members on the
committee then going to the Senate or Assembly link and getting their contact
information.

-------------------------------------------------------------- Legislature: "They share many important powers, among
them the powers to declare war, raise an army and navy, borrow and coin
money, regulate interstate commerce, create federal courts, establish
rules for the naturalization of immigrants, and "make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers." (PG 225)"
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Legislature is broken up into: The Senate The Assembly
"The Lt Governor is the official president of the senate, but (much
like the vice president in the U.S. Senate) has little power, votes
only in the case of a tie, and usually does not even bother to show up
for senate sessions.
The most powerful position in the senate is that of PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE
(or "president pro tem"), that is, acting president. The significance
of this position comes from the fact that the president pro tem chairs
the five-member Rules Committee, which includes three members of the
majority party (including the president pre tem) and two members of the
minority party." (Pg 60)
