lydamorehouse So, I go for days without and now here is my second post of the day....
I forgot to tell you all that I recieved "replies" from all my Congress critters, including Tina Smith. Both Amy Kloubuchar and Betty McCullom's were very boilerplate, "Thank you for reaching out, your comment is important to us...."
However.
I must have sounded like a complete crank because what I got back from Tina Smith afer my rant about her not having a separate Civil Rights catagory was basically: "The First Amendment allows you to say what you want."
Wow.
Okay.

Date: 2024-12-06 10:33 pm (UTC)I've seen a few exceptions. I met a guy at the county fair this summer who was running for local office. We stood there and yakked for ... 45 minutes maybe? until my partner's feet got tired of standing on concrete. We talked about community engagement, climate change, housing; he jotted notes for ideas I shared about possible solutions. It doesn't matter that I didn't live in his district, because I'm in the area and we had common causes. I wanted to encourage the good behavior.
