I haven’t run into any rudeness among the staffers I’ve contacted, and I’ve been calling all week. I tell them right away that I’m calling from PA-13. They can count my comment or not, that’s up to them. I stress that any change worth making is worth making with integrity, deliberation and careful attention. It isn’t right to rush decisions, threaten, bribe or to engage in corrupt deals behind closed doors - period. I ask them to vote NO, politely give my reasons, and thank them for their time. I’m putting a lot of emphasis on the corrupt process, since it seems a smaller step for them to reject dirty dealing than to reject statism. Anyone subjected to this nasty arm-twisting process must be feeling some revulsion by now.
