I wrote Santorum on his legislation to deny public access to public weather data. It so happens that AccuWeather is in his district, and they had ponied up big time. The response that I received was more hostile than any than I had ever received from any Senator, including Barbara Boxer. I had once been a polite fence sitter, but I sure am not now. The arrogance from this guy's office reveals a remarkable sense of entitlement, and, sadly, this was no isolated incident. Vote the bum out!

It so happens that AccuWeather is in his district Santorum doesn't have a "district."

That is a bizarre bill. It seems that Santorum has introduced a bill forbidding the National Weather Service from providing "a product or service ... that is or could be provided by the private sector" unless the secretary of commerce (who oversees NWS) determines that "the private sector is unwilling or unable" to do so, or unless some international treaty requires the NWS to do so.
Maybe he should introduce similar legislation with regard to Post Office services.

At least you got a response. I sent an email via his Senate website regarding his vote against he Coburn amendment, and never received a reply (most likely because I disagreed with his vote). I also called his local office last week to voice displeasure about his vote for the Iraq resolution. Still haven't gotten a reply on that as well.

This is a particularly squalid example of corruption, and uncomfortably similar to the "crony capitalism" that has derailed attempts to introduce a free market into the former Soviet vassal states.
