With all due respect, that would be your fault... and you have your subject backward... it should be YOU that meets your senator.
Gaining an audience with my representative, the representative that covers the district where my office is located, my state representatives and state senator has been suprizingly easy. Getting an audience with one of the U.S. Senators has been more difficult, but not impossible. Knowing their staff is perhaps more important and much easier to accomplish.
BTW, I do like that I run into my representative (Joe Barton) at the Kroger or elsewhere in the neighborhood about once a quarter. I always make a point of saying hello and reminding him where he has met me in the past. I realize he probably doesn't care, but I like to think that when I do meet him in his office that at least my face is familier...(sans bag, of course)
Yeah, I wasn’t trying to say that I can’t meet with them if I try. I was trying to show how disconnected we are. I probably should have said something like ‘a legislator who sees most of his constituency in church every Sunday is going to be a lot more “fearful”...’
