So, I get a *postcard* from Sen. Nelson about his new internet enthusiasm.
I guess he is going to get on the bandwagon? The postcard directs us to the website so we can sign on.

This is a senator who never communicates, seldom even responds to calls or letters, and is more GOP than not.

I am trying to appreciate his effort, but I don't. He got over 2700 calls against the war, voted for it wholeheartedly. Won an award from the US Chamber of Commerce for voting with business 75% of the time.

His aide said to me that he voted for the war because he had to "listen to the ones who did NOT call." When I asked her what they said...the ones who did not call....she stammered and stuttered.

He is a part of the group that was discussed in "Jesus, plus Nothing." His wife is on the board of directors. He is one of two Democrats mentioned. I don't know what to think of that.

So, he sends me a postcard to tell me he is going to be active on the internet. Well, gee, Bill, you have my email address.

:freak:

1. My rep., Jo Bonner (R-AL)
finally has an email address on his website.
And it says this:
"Regrettably, I am unable to reply to any email from constituents outside of Alabama."
Uh...Jo?
You don't HAVE any constituents outside of Alabama.
Not to put TOO fine a point on it, but you don't have any outside of the 1st district.
What a maroon.
:-(
