(no subject)

Because I'm on my way to being an Aging Hippie Liberal Douche, I write my Congressman and my Senators about issues that concern me. Not daily, or anything like that, but if I see something that worries me, or that I really support, coming to open debate or vote, I send a note to them, usually electronically, sometimes written.

I did so on the Net Neutrality and the fact that ICANN is going into something of a limbo space soon, and how I felt that Net Neutrality is something that needs protected.

I got a response back from my Congressman today. It was probably 3/4 form letter (they usually are), but it had a few comments in there that said someone (if not him) read the letter and replied to it directly, not just automatically.

I get a letter like that every time I write to him, and they usually include what he plans to do or how he feels on the issue, with his reasons, so that even if I disagree with him, I know WHY he's going to vote a certain way.

Over the past 2 years I've been writing to these three legislators, I've gotten back 8 or 9 letters from my Congressman. But I've never recieved a single one from my Senators.

I'm actually considering voting for my Congressman this next election, even though I'm not the greatest fan of his political association.

I will not be voting for either of my incumbent Senators.

All the 'fexes are DONE. Thank god. Even if I probably won't always use all 6 on the board at any time. (The most my current list plans for is 5.)
