They're all set up that way. Yesterday I contacted Vern Ehlers, a Michigan pubbie from another district, who was planning to vote "Yes" on the bill. In order to get through, I had to find a zip code from his district and use that.
In my message, I admitted to using an "assumed" zip code and continued: "It is ... a pretty small sin compared with the lies and bilge that I have to swallow on a daily basis when I see one of your ilk interviewed on television. Despite your not being my representative, your vote will have a very big impact on me and my family." My own rep is Dingell -- how much chance do I have to influence HIS vote?
I was at least pleased to see that Ehlers ultimately voted "No."
No, I don’t think they care much about any e-contacts.
It’s pretty much a given that politicians don’t really care about representing their constituents, they only care about the power.
I don’t have easy access to a fax, and I’ll be darned if I give a moron like McHugh my phone number via call ID.
If he’s stupid enough to vote for a bill he didn’t read, what else is he stupid enough to do?
Of course, with the so called stimulus bill, lots of people voted for that abortion without reading it.
(300 million for pimped out golf carts so congress critters don’t have to walk like the rest of us..)
