I Received a Letter from a Senator

Just a quick note to report that I received what might not be a form letter from Senator McCaskill (D). Or it could be a form letter, but it gave me a good laugh when I got it. I am formulating my response now, and will share it and her letter with everyone when I send it.

The reason that it might possibly not be a form letter is because it addresses every single one of the items I last sent to her. Of course, I am nowhere near the only person teetotally hacked off over everything these goons are doing.

I do make it a hobby of emailing my representative and senators every couple of weekss, you know, just to keep in touch. I have no idea if it helps at all, but it makes me feel better. One thing is for sure, they will certainly not read the letter I do not send...whereas if I send it, maybe someone will.

That's funny because I often do the same thing at the national, state and local level, often with similar results. You should read some of my older letters to Robert Wexler(D.)I have the same belief that while Mel Martinez or Bill Nelson may not read such letters themselves, somebody on their staff will. I also believe in others like the bloggers here, in that they will be sending similar letters. If enough people send those letters, the person on the elected official's staff reading these letters will bring it up in a conversation eventually. Same with mass e-mail campaigns. The morning after the Tax Day tea parties, I began a mass email campaign to get the idea out there to have a big tea party in D.C. on July 4th. Unfortunately I was unable to login properly to this blog at the time or I would have started it here first. Interestingly, both Hannity and Beck mentioned July 4th as a god day for tea parties that day. It is possible that my e-mail got to somebody who talks to the right people. I would say that possibility is at 0.0000005%. I believe it most likely that my e-mail was among a sea of other e-mails from people with the same idea. There are alot of folks out there that are way smarter than me and could see that July 4th is a Saturday this year making it a great day to rally in D.C. I believe we will have an event to attend in D.C on July the 4th. I don't care who gets credit for the idea, I just hope it happens and that I get to meet all of you there. Either way it feels good to vent a good hand written letter to my representatives when they are wrong or even when they are right.

I received a form letter from her that addressed a lof of things with the exception of what I wrote her. She obviously has a form letter data base. I wrote her about state sovereignty, and she wrote me back on the Iraq war. It's on my blog if you want to compare it to yours.
