                      IN HONOR OF MR. SHANE MEYERS

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. SAM FARR

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 16, 2005

  Mr. FARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with my colleagues, Congresswoman 
Zoe Lofgren and Congressman Michael Honda, to honor Mr. Shane Lee 
Meyers, who has dedicated the last several years to establishing 
two websites that provide political informa-
tion to the public. These websites, including 
the Election Volunteer Project (www.electionvolunteer.com) and the Join 
California site (www.joincalifornia.com). focus on the Santa Clara 
county area and serve to educate that region's voters in a non-partisan 
way by providing biographies of candidates for major public office. The 
Election Volunteer Project intends to eventually expand the websites to 
include all of northern California and perhaps even the entire state.
  Mr. Meyers deserves recognition today for the great interest he has 
shown in improving the lines of communication between the public and 
their representatives at both the state and federal levels. A longtime 
resident of Capitola, he has volunteered a large portion of his time 
toward the website's public education effort. His efforts toward 
improving community political awareness are to be commended.
  I would also like to add that Mr. Meyers is a recent graduate in 
electrical engineering from Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo. He is currently 
employed by Nokia as a Software Quality Assurance Engineer.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to honor the many accomplishments of Mr. 
Meyers and wish him continued success in the future.
