>> Sounds like the governor of my state... We usually meet for a few hours, throw back a couple of beers, maybe play a game of billiards or two, and enjoy an intimate chat about politics. Sometimes the U.N. Secretary-General, the Prime Minister of a medium-sized European country, or a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will stop by at the same time, and we'll switch to pitching horseshoes. Glad to hear that your state representative is equally accessible. If only all of our elected representatives were so accommodating. <<
I drove to Springfield for three hours to sit down with my state legislator back in Feb. to discuss the "gay marriage" bill the radical left was pushing. Most of the state legislators were "in committee" hearings, but I managed to catch her in her office. She shook my hand, thanked me for coming all the way to Springfield, claimed to be "undecided" on the bill, and listened politely as I explained my objections and pointed out she represented a socially conservative district that made up a large part of Congressman Lipinski's turf. She nodded and claimed she would take my opinions into account and write back when she had reached a decision.
Then she turned around and voted the way Madigan told her to ("AYE", of course), and never wrote back. She knows no matter what I do, she'll be re-elected by about 70% in her safe gerrymandered district.
It doesn't matter if state legislators are more "accessible" than federal ones, if you're NOT the one they're working for.
This rabid “Gay” stuff intimidates everyone who gets in its way.
Now the counterbalance would be a faith in God, but as that does not exist in the strength required, the intimidators get their way.
