They do keep track of messages called, faxed, or emailed to them, regardless of whether you live in their district - especially on issues of national importance. I never hesitate to contact any member of Congress when I feel the need!
My congressman (Scott Garrett, NJ) is aligned with Rep. Ron Paul's group so I don't worry much about his voting record, but he does get his share of messages of my support.
Thank you, just sent him a message of support.
You're welcome, ABG.. It was a good idea, I sent one too!
Richard Poe is quite a treasure, huh?
Here's my idea for a photoshopped Delay t-shirt or poster:
Tom Delay photoshopped into MC Hammer's parachute pants outfit, captioned: DC Hammer - You Can't Touch This!
BTTT !!
Thanks. I've made a note of that.
About thirty years ago I almost bought a horse farm in Cut 'n Shoot, TX. The address was a big attraction. Instead, I got a divorce and could no longer buy a horse much less a farm.
Hey RATS.....can you say "projection"? Sick bass-turds!

Let me know if I mistyped something, folks.
In Gunville, people are REQUIRED to have a gun. That's what attracts me. But I'd imagine that Cut-and-Shoot would be a good name to scare off the punks too. FReegards....
Good information. Thanks.
Excellent addition to a superb post.
"Delay needs a bigger hammer. Flip/reverse the picture and put a sledge
hammer in his right hand!"
I changed it to a sledgehammer. But when I "flipped" the pic, the "S" on his
chest was wrong. I tried to manipulate it, but it just didn't look too good. :(
Anyway, there it is in #24 after my changes.
