That’s one of my favorite Groucho Marx lines. Another one also applies to Harry Reid: “Those are my principles, and if you don’t like them... well, I have others”.

Yep- heard him!

I called my senators- MArtinez office- as usual- was clueless. “Ill give the senator your message.”

Nelson’s office asked again for the Sec# and said she’d gotten a couple of other calls..

Excellent! I should have known that was classic Groucho. He was a favorite of my Dad’s :)

About the topic at hand, I DID call my two Senators, and then I called all the ones I wished were mine ; p Seriously, mine are not bad per se, they just require my eternal vigilance...lol.

I called John also, but they were slammed. Could not even leave a message : o But overall, not a bad thing, in my mind.

John Cornyn’s DC phone if flooded. Called his Dallas office and the dude there told me that the republican leadership is aware of this and are against it..well duhh....lol.

I’d rather hear that they are stopping it!! (eye roll)

Love John Cornyn though and trust that he will do everything in his power to pull the plug.
