I guess they don't want any visitors from the Republicans, anymore.
Thanks for the link to the article and the idea to email the author. Here's my letter:
""I prefer to call the Democratic Senators and Representatives the "Fleas. "I can not feel sorry for a group of 11 elected officials who left their posts to live on $9000 per 30 days, each. Despite their cries of hardship, they are living off their constituents after hopping across the State line(s).
They, like their insect namesakes, are vectors of disease. They perpetuate the mindset typified by the Socialist group moveon.org. that anything goes to disrupt government.
By the way, moveon.org (which has its own link on the Communist Party of the USA website), in its letter sent out by the Rodney Ellis, implies that money sent to the group will go toward "The cost of hotels, meeting rooms, staff support."
Any one or two of the Senators may end the need for Special Sessions by simply coming back to Austin, arguing their case on the floor of the Senate, and doing their job. In the meantime, they have stolen our State government and are holding it hostage in New Mexico. It does not pay to negotiate with, much less give in to, kidnappers and terrorists.""
