Interesting. Almost on a daily basis you tell us how all politicians are scum and they should be voted out. Yesterday you said it is better if they do nothing. (see below)
Now you are emailing your representative and he is calling you back? I would like to hear that conversation. Did you tell him he is scum and he needs to go? If not, why?
You have not read much about what I have said about my state rep over the last few years. He ALWAYS calls me when I write or email him. Every time. I have told him, multiple times what I think of politicians. I have also told him that he is going to give politicians a bad name by responding to those he works for.
I email, call, and write ALL my elected officials on a regular basis, INCLUDING King Putz the 1st. My state rep is the ONLY one who ALWAYS responds. My state senator USED to respond, but he has gone over to the "Dark Side". I expect him to run for National level office soon. He would fit right in.
You are also taking the remark about "doing nothing" out of context. That remark was made in a thread about the US congress. I believe, and always have, that the power belongs at the state and local level. Most of what the feds do is overstepping their constitutional bounds.
