So, it cannot directly encourage its membership to vote for any candidate. Members can, of course, do whatever they want as individuals on their own. CORRE can engage in educational activities. It can and does address how representatives in Congress are engaged in issues of interest to CORRE members. That is one reason this blog has been organized- to let the CORRE members know more about what is going on, so that they can make informed choices themselves in the future. CORRE conducts a constant, ongoing effort to educate and persuade members of Congress to do the responsible thing with Oak Ridge contractor pensions.

Can CORRE encourage its members to vote for representatives that are sympathetic to CORRE's mission? Are there restrictions on CORRE as an organization? So, how many members are there?
