Federal Watch Dog Group: 
I am doing the Federal Watch Dog.
 
I am monitoring what is happening in Congress, but beyond that I haven't done anything else.  I hope to get more people involved and would like for a notice to go out encouraging others to join me.  I am in touch with Congressman Roe's office as well as Senator Corker and Senator Alexander.  I am looking at getting together on a regular basis as does the Education Committee.  I am thinking about a week night and location.  Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
