I'm amazed you ever hear anything from McCain except when he's raising $$$! He never replied (nor had anyone in his office do so) on any of the issues I asked about by phone, letter, or email.
He, and many, many of our legislatures are the poster children of why we should clean house. IMO the founding fathers deliberately set a low salary for representatives and senators to encourage them to get the countries business done and return to their homes to get on with their families business... this wasn't to be a full time nor long term profession. This was civic duty only. It has turned into a profession with outrageous salaries and benefits as well as raises given to themselves by them. Now it seems they aren't even making their own laws...they seem to be allowing the judiciary to make/bend the laws to suit themselves (apparently guided by Pew) and they nor the Presidential overview has no power to set it aside.
The American public should be ashamed of itself. We have not paid attention to our jobs of supervision over the government and now the foxes are guarding the hens.
Do you give an AZ address? I have gotten a reply to every email that I have sent, though not exactly prompt.
