GillaMasta Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 I'm sorry. This doesn't have one single thing to do with music but everyone at this site seems to be pretty good at searching for stuff and I was wondering if anyone could help me with a question that I could NOT find the answer to on the internet. Okay, sorry for the randomness but here goes: What is the length of one term for eah of these elected officials: US House Member Governer Senator State House member County commissioner :: Anything at all would be very very very helpful...maybe someone has a good website I could use. If anything, this should be a challenge of who can find it the fastest because I have not been able to locate this info for some time now... But you guys are all smarter than me so maybe you could help even though I am crazy and ask random questions on music forums.....anyway, THANKS A BUNCH GUYS! from your crazy-ever-loving-music-fan-who-just-happens-to-ask-a-government-question friend, GILLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GillaMasta Posted July 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 For your information, MAN, I was asking for help since I am having trouble locating something and I thought someone here, with more experience, could help. But thanks anyway.... I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!!!!! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazooka Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 But you guys are all smarter than me so maybe you could help me even though I am crazy ... Aaww GillaMasta, Try to work on your self-esteem a little. For federal officials, go to this scary website. For the state, try the Green Papers. For the county, to quote Alice Cooper (and paraphrase MarcM): " No More Mr. Nice Guy". But seriously, you should be able to get that information with a phone call. Or do a search with the simplest keywords "________ County ", etc. There are probably better resources for any of this. I think you will find that if you keep trying whatever search ideas come to mind, you'll get to what you need pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy1 Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Gilla- to make it a little easier I'll give you the info that I remember from civics class- circa 1972, and no jokes, I'm old as dirt compared to many at this site, but I don't think the constitution has changed that much. House of representatives- 2 years State senator- 6 years Governor- 4 years State house member- 2 years As far as county info goes, many counties local governments are set up differently. For example the county I live in has only had a county commisioner for about 10 years. If you need specific info I would pick up the phone and call your local government center. They'd be happy to help you.Also, I realize with the internet, it might not be your first thought, but lots of research can be done at your local library. If you're doing a report or something good luck- get a A+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy1104 Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Windy....thanks for the congrats. It has been a long road with this company (you all know the company) but the friendships made over the years are all worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy1 Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 dug- sounds like we have a lot in common government wise! :: Colin has told me that about Liverpool ( he's been over here only about 6 years). His mother now lives in (I'm not going to spell this right-figure it out)Wirrell, near Wales. Is that better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dug Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Windy, Wirrel In Wales Is Beutiful But Yes Our Goverments Are The Same Apart From The Death Penalty That You Have In The US.

windy1 Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 dug- yeah, politics suck really, where ever you are. As far as music goes, I like classic rock of course, cause that's when I grew up. My favorites are the Stones and Hendrix. I like some new stuff (not much), old country,and then I veer off the mainstream and get into Beefheart, and Morphine and almost any blues stuff you can think of. How about yourself?
