In Reply to: You write/fax/call your state senators over and over and over - and over again...that's what you do! nm
That is exactly what I am doing!! I also write the White House...whether or not that makes a difference. I get furious every time I write the Senator (Blanche Lincoln-D) as I get back a "canned" reply telling me why she knows best for her constituents. Of course she knows what is best for Wal-Mart and Tysons, who just happen to be in her district. I have given her several big chunks of my mind and I have assured her that in the next election I will work for whomever runs against her and do my best to see that her oponent wins. She never replied to that one. LOL
On the other hand, John Boozeman-R, we call as we know him personally. He is always receptive to our thoughts and I do believe that he does his best to vote as the majority of his constituents wish. Sometimes I don't agree with the "majority" but I do believe that the majority should rule.
At this point about all any of us can do is raise a BIG fuss about things that aren't right. If enough people kick up a big enough fuss, then and only then will anything change. Those politicians want to keep those cushy jobs! Unfortunately too many wait for "someone else" to get things done.
