Good Idea - but she will ignore you. She ignored the people of the district she ran in.

I worked for her opponent, Tim Escobar, a fine first-time Republican candidate. Tim belongs to the National Guard, is a Gulf war vet (hellicopter pilot), and a small business man. They were both running in a a new, gerry-mandered distict, just made for a Hispanic. It is shaped like a big U and contains parts of 6 diffierent cities. It has a Dem to GOP registration ratio of about 3 to 1, so while Tim did well, he couldn't overcome the Dem registration advantage and the backing that Linda got from the unions. (She listed her profession on the ballot as "union activist"). Tim was endorsed by several prominent Dems, as they dislike Linda too. He was also hurt by the lackluster performance of Simon at the top of the ticket, of course, and Linda got a bunch of PAC money.

Oh well - maybe next time??

I am a constituent. If she ignores me I will camp out on her doorstep and visit her in Sacramento. The Press-Telegram pieces on how she treats citizens in her district should be interesting!

Just wrote to the P-T:

Appearing on The O'Reilly Factor with her sister, Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez, the newly-elected Linda Sanchez got into
a spirited debate with the host. During one exchange regarding defense of U.S. borders with the military, Sanchez cited the
military history of sniper John Allen Muhammad, and asked: "how are we going to protect our own people from the
ex-military?"

I didn't vote for her, did you?

May I suggest that if you know anyone who served in the military that you call Ms Sanchez and
give her a piece of your mind at (562)77-2468. Then go thank a Veteran for their service! After
all, it's Veteran's Day
