* NEW * THAT’S MY CONGRESS
That’s My Congress -- A politically independent journal of the campaigns and legislation of the United States Congress – featured Congress for Kids activities as a source of resource and materials for supplementary education about government.
Find the That’s My Congress feature at: http://thatsmycongress.com/index.php/2010/10/14/congress-for-kids-activities/.
That’s My Congress is also a political card game in which players attempt to win control of a fantasy U.S. House of Representatives. Players put current members of Congress literally in the palms of their hands as they compete to advance their political agendas and establish strategic advantage. That’s My Congress is a new and unique game for hardcore political junkies, students of politics, fans of strategic games, and intelligent people who know how to mix their fun with a bit of learning.
