If only she'd see the light on life.
I've written her, visited her office in Washington, met with her staff and even confronted her at public appearances. She does not and will not stand for the right of all innocent human beings to not be killed. Evidently, only those human beings who can hire lobbyists are deserving of protection.
She also repeatedly ignored my invitations to events surrounding the National Advisory Committee on Violence Against Women, when I was a member. (The letters in reply from her office are always canned, pre-written responses that show me that no one really read them - most had my name wrong.) (I typed or called - it wasn't my handwriting.)
She cannot flaunt the Platform of the Republican Party by advocating for abortion, cloning, and expanded (and ever expanding) destructive embryonic stem cell research and continue to be "the most popular Texas Republican." Instead, she'll just end up being another Democrat with and (R) behind her name. In other words, a RINO.
One point at a time...
1. She has two flaws on her Pro-Life voting record: 1. Embryonic stem cell testing, and 2. Endorsement of Roe v. Wade. If you know me, you know I don't support either of those positions. On substantive abortion votes, such as Partial-birth, fetal pain, tissue harvesting, etc., her record is Pro-Life. For several sessions she was one of a small minority of senators to recieve 100% ratings from the National Right to Life Committee.
2. Sorry you didn't get the personal attention you undoubtedly deserve, but you are one of 22 million constituents. All members of congress use form letters crafted to address specific issues. No excuse for misspelling your name - I have an uncommon last name and that always irks me.
3. The RPT platform evidently doesn't carry as much weight in the real world as you would assign to it, nor should it, since it is the work of a handful of activist with way too much time on their hands (I've been a delegate to the last four conventions, trust me). She may not be the most popular Republican with convention delegates, but she is in the state. Election results don't lie. Damned democracy.
