not MY representative
our local (republican, of course) congresswoman's email address had been bouncing for a few weeks, meaning all of my recent letters to her were not received. i was not happy, but not unhappy enough to find another route.
until today. i just re-sent a half-dozen messages to her via her website in hopes they reached her. with each, i requested a response. her responses in the past have ranged from (paraphrasing) form letters saying "i got your letter" to "your views are your opinion and i'm voting otherwise" (of course, with no explanation).
politicians claim to have our interests at heart. ha. well, i can honestly say unless something HUGE happens to change my mind, i'm probably going to actively campaign AGAINST her in the future.
Even Bob "Freedom Fries" Ney had the sense to vote against CAFTA, and you KNOW i almost never have anything nice to say about him.
