Constituents roll call...Who serves you?

[Dees]

and your assessment of their job of serving you.

Maryland..My Congressman is Wayne Gilchrest..Repuglican. Mostly a zero. Bu$h toadie and party line guy. I give high marks for environment however. Never answers my email.

Senators Mikulski and Sarbanes. Don't hear much from them lately.
Both voted no on Roberts. Both are up in years. Sarbanes retiring after this term. So so performance.

[Skidmore]

1. Iowa

Congressman is Boswell--Dem. Older guy who just had surgery to remove a mass in his abdomen. Health status unknown as yet.

[wryter2000]

16. Boswell's sick?

I sent him a few bucks last year when Dean featured him. I hope he gets better soon.

[Skidmore]

32. Yeah, I heard an item on the radio one morning and then

saw the same in a local paper sometime early in the week. There was kind of an ominous note that the family was requesting privacy for him. Did not say anything beyond that he had a mass removed from his abdomen. To me, that doesn't sound good. But I could be wrong.

[wryter2000]

45. That doesn't sound good

I still get broadcast e-mails from his campaign. I haven't heard anything from them.

[wryter2000]

2. The Barbaras

Barbara Lee and Barbara Boxer.

Plus, Diane Feinstein. Oy.

[LSparkle]

3. Wow -- you got me beat by one; my Rep is Brad Sherman

Love that Boxer ... Jury's out on DiFi (I could be swayed if a true Dem runs against her in '06).

[MurrayDelph]

46. Same as above

(near Roscoe & Haskell, around the corner from the Tommy's)

[slackmaster]

4. California

Representative Susan Davis - Excellent.

Senator Boxer - Very good, responsive.

Senator Feinstein - Doesn't give a rat's ass what I have to say about anything.

[SteppingRazor]

5. Looking forward to Ben Cardin...

beating Lt. Gov. Steele up there in Maryland to keep that seat Democratic!

As for me, my congressman is Clay Shaw, a stinking Republican -- which is totally inexplicable, as his district is the beachside of Broward County (Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, etc.), which is very Democratic.

Senators are Bill Nelson and Mel Martinez. Mel enjoys one of the lowest approval ratings for any senator in his home state. Hoping he gets ousted after only one term. As for Bill, he'll probably be running against Katherine Harris in 2006.

[BlueJac]

6. Washington State

Rep Brian Baird, I emailed many times with no reply. Senator P Murray, I email lots and her reply is as if she never read my email.


Both Liberals. Murray voted for CAFTA, Baird didn't.

[FreedomAngel82]

17. That sucks with no replies

I have Emailed my congressman and he at least actually replies even if it is sometimes talking points (like the Schavio nonsense). Frist has replied but it's all copy and paste letters. I've never gotten anything from Alexander.

[spuddonna]

37. Maria Cantwell, too...

Jay Inslee's my rep...

I'm always writing letters to my senators and rep. I don't think I've gotten a 'real' response back on any of the letters/emails I've sent out. They're all form letter responses...

Wait, I take that back! I did get an email 'thank you' that seemed real - it was from Henry Waxman.

[_ed_]

7. Colorado

Wayne Allard (R) - Awful.

Ken Salazar (D) - So far, I'm extremely unimpressed. I think he's playing Mr. Centrist to keep a Presidential run in his future (First Hispanic man...). I consider that a betrayal to the base. Colorado is red, but the places that are blue are very blue. He's still a million times better than Pete Coors, whom he beat. Yes, THAT Pete Coors, polluter and maker of shitty beer.

Congressman - Joel Hefley (R) - Awful.

[Blue Belle]

38. Amen!! Pete Coors does make shitty beer.

Here's to Fat Tire.

[_ed_]

40. So much good beer in CO

I call it the Napa Valley of Beer.

Avery, New Belgium, Left Hand, Boulder Beer, Durango...

[Blue Belle]

47. Well, if Colorado is the Napa Valley of Beer...

Than Oregon is the South of France of Beer.

I've lived in Colorado... and you guys are good - don't get me wrong. But I have to say I'm partial to my home state when it comes to beer.

Portland Brewery, Bridgeport Brewery, Widmere Brewery, Steele Head Brewery, Deschutes Brewery, Rogue Brewery... just to name a few. You should come out to the Portland Brew Fest sometime... it's the second to the last weekend in July every year.

[_ed_]

49. Right on

I don't discriminate when it comes to beer.

I've got a sixer of Bridgeport IPA in my fridge right now. You guys do have great brews up there.

[Blue Belle]

58. Bridgeport IPA - My Favorite!!

[MuseRider]

8. No one

Pat Roberts R
Sam Brownback R
Jim Ryun R

It is just that bad. No response to anything anymore.

[bee]

20. same here

Jeb Bradley (R) But hoping he'll go down w/ Delay
Judd Gregg (R)
John Sununu (R)

[FloridaPat]

9. Florida - Ginny Waite-Brown - * clone. Senator Martinez - new but

following rep party line.

Democrat Bill Nelson - mostly votes with the Democrats. Voted for the invasion of Iraq because the thousands of people who called, emailed, and wrote they didn't want an invasion - he listened to the people who didn't write, call or email.

[Dr.Phool]

28. I'm looking for volunteers

To work on John Russells campaign. He has the best shot at getting rid of Ginny.

[FloridaPat]

50. Tell me about him and what kind of volunteers you are looking for.

Like I really care what kind of person he is as long as he's not a repub!

[LizMoonstar]

10. Illinois

Durbin, whose name resembles vulgar slang (predating him) in BnR's hometown.

Obama - watching him dominate Keyes was a joy.

Lane Evans, who handily beat challenger, nonvoter, and former tv weathergirl Andrea Zinga, whose campaign basically consisted of "Lane Evans is a cripple!"

[Eugene]

11. Massachusetts

My Congressman is Marty Meehan.

My Senators are Ted Kennedy and John Kerry.

All Democrats.

[Goblinmonger]

12. Wisconsin

My Rep is Tom Petri. Useless piece of Republican excrement.

Senators:

Kohl--Happy with him
Feingold--He is absolutely fabulous.

[GOPisEvil]

13. 3 absolute losers

US Rep: Michael McCaul, a first-termer who votes with Tom Delay 97% of the time. I also couldn't pick him out of a one-man line-up.

US Senators: Kay Bailey, The Breck Girl and Box Turtle Cornyn.

[wryter2000]

18. The great state of Texas

Reduced to that. It's so sad.

[GOPisEvil]

23. Yeah, the times, they are a-changin' though.

www.tedankrum.com

Ted will hopefully send McCaul packing.

[acmejack]

14. Texas CD-21 Lamar Smith R

His performance you ask-in a word, deplorable! He is on the wrong side of every single issue every single time. You would think he would occasionally be on the side of decency, but no.

Thankfully, we intend to replace him with a real Congressman, John Courage. God knows Congress sorely needs Courage!

Senators Hutchinson (Dumb) and Cornyn (Dumber), they both reek.

[FreedomAngel82]

15. I live in Tennessee and have

Alexander and Frist. Both zero's and Frist is hopefully going to be replaced next year by either Harold Ford junior (who I'm right now planning on voting for) or Roslaind Kurita (who in the long run I agree everything on with except the DSM and Iraq) and my congressman is Zach Wamp and hopefully he'll be replaced next year by democrat John Wolfe and there is also an indie who is going to run for Wamp's seat. All three I have currently are republicans. Oy!

[tnlefty]

42. Cry for us for real!!! You should probably be glad that you've

never received a letter from FrankenFrist - they're never about what I've contacted him about and always arrogant and snotty in tone. I didn't know that Wolfe is planning to run again, I knew about the indie, and I understand that someone who is a bonified Democrat will announce that he's running for Wamp's seat soon. (Crossing fingers)!! Kurita told me recently that she doesn't even know what the DSM is and I'm hunting all of the links that I had to send to her along with the link for the roundtable interview that you weren't too thrilled with. She needs to know these things and what's ticking people off! We have quite a few candidates for county council positions, judgeships, etc. Lots of work to be done and lots of funds to raise. We need some good outcomes in these elections!!!

[scarletlib]

19. suckass Mark Foley--closeted gay-republican ..

of west palm beach fl. he's worthless.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

21. North Carolina (CD-04)

David Price (D)

My senators do not represent me.
Liddy Dole (R)
Richard Burr(R)

[AlCzervik]

22. District 3 in california--Dan Lungren (R) scumbag, he made a speech on

the floor when they were voting on the stem cell bill "My nephew has a disease that someday might be help by stemcell but i just can't vote yes, i talked to him today and said he didn't want to hurt the unborn" or something close to that, it was disgusting. And you who reps. California in the senate already.

[Left Is Write]

24. I'm in Idaho. No federal congressperson or senator serves me.

[CottonBear]

25. Blue Northeast Georgia college town under fire from Republicans:

Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA)
Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA)
Rep. John Barrow (D-GA)

John was formerly my most liberal county commissioner and a personal friend of mine. He's the Harvard Law graduate son of a famous Athens judge, and the scion of a very old Georgia family. I know John well. He is super smart and very articulate.

Unfortunately, he's now a running scared Democratic Representative who has done such unthinkable things as vote for the Schiavo bill.

Ugh. I know why he's voting that way. Immediately after his defeat of Republican Max Burns (a one term Republican who won in a district that had just been redrawn by the Democrats) the new Republican majority in Georgia redrew the goddamn districts AGAIN.

Now, John will no longer live in his current district. He'll have to run in a conservative, mostly white district extending north of Athens instead of in the current district that includes college towns, blue cities and large minority populations.


I am an unhappy Democrat.

[MamaBear]

26. New York

Senator Chuck Schumer: He's a very "moderate" Dem and has been far too conciliatory with the * regime for my taste.

Senator Hilary Clinton: Celebrity Dem but leaning further and further rightward all the time. I'm not thrilled, but I'll probably end up voting for her in the 2006 Senate race.

Congressman Charles Rangel, Democrat: I like him, he has spoken out against the Iraq mess and he has also proposed a bill to reinstate the draft without the loopholes. It would never pass as written because it's compulsory service for all men and women regardless, but it was a noble effort and got the conversation started at least.

[Suziq]

27. New Jersey

7th Congressional District.

Mike Ferguson (R - Huge Bush Ass Kisser) aka I have taken the MOST money from Hot Tub Tom Delay.

My Senators are Jon Corzine - our next governor and Frank Lautenberg. These two have not let me down yet. Excellent job!

[RayOfHope]

29. MO here. 3 strikes and I'm out. 2 repugs and a DINO

The pugs would be Kit Bond and Jim noTalent.

The DINO is Ike Skelton.

[AllegroRondo]

39. Im in Carnahan's district

He's a Dem, but not a very effective one.

Still, we'd rather have him than the Repub he ran against.

[Dr.Phool]

30. Florida - Mike Bilirakis

A human slug if there ever was one.

[texpatriot2004]

31. Texas - Nobody serves me. Culberson serves Big Business &

Corporate Greed, the Religious extremists and the right wing agenda.

My Senators, Hutchison and Cornyn serve all the same things...so I have no representation in the Federal Government.

[Lindsay]

33. No representation in NC 11.

Burr and Dole in the Senate, criminal Repug Taylor in the house.

Sigh....

[MN ChimpH8R]

34. 2 out of three ain't bad

Rep Martin Sabo (D) good solid Minnesota liberal in the Humphrey/Mondale tradition

Sen. Mark Dayton (D) good guy, left of center, retiring after just one term, which is too bad. He hates fundraising and that's why he decided to get out.

The Unspeakable Normie Coleman (RepuKKKe)
'nuff said

[AX10]

35. Connecticut

-Chris "Bush's Ho" Shays: Shays will be out next year. He's weak and this district does not like Bush. Also, Farrell ran a strong campaign last year and got 48.5% to Shays 51%. The closest ever. Shays always won by double digits. Not anymore!

-Chris Dodd: Just wonderful
-Joe Lieberman: Not perfect, but a hell of alot better than the perverts the GOP has put up in the last races. I will give him a fourth term.

[Sweet Freedom]

36. Texas

DeLay, KBH and Cronyn.

help me.

[damntexdem]

41. Nobody. This is Texas.

Burgess in Congress. Smurfs 1 and 2 ... I mean Hutchinson and Cornyn in the Senate.

[Blue Belle]

43. Two out of three Reps serve me...

Peter DeFazio: my Congressman and everyone here should be so lucky.

Ron Wyden: Moderate Democrat... he's okay, but I wish he would veer more to the left and come out swinging on issues such as DSM, and Gitmo/Abu Graib abuse.

Gordon Smith: Votes down the republican lineance on Medicade and ANWAR. Still hope Kitzhaber or DeFazio run against him in '08.

[FourStarDemocrat]

44. New York

The wanker Congressman Peter King (R) is my representative. Clinton and Schumer are the state's senators. Schumer is the one that I've always liked. Hillary is way too DLC for my taste.

[DrDan]

48. Tom the man Feeney

I feel one of the lucky ones - having Tom as my rep

and the Senators - how could I be so lucky

John Roberts supporter Bill Nelson is one of my senators

and Mel Martinez - the next member of USOC

geez, am I blessed

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

51. Illinois

Cong. Dan Lipinski: Dem, but in reality a DINO. He literally inherited this seat from his father, William Lipinski aka Bungalow Bill, who had been the 3rd Cong. District representative since 1982.

Danny Boy is a total zero. He voted for the Schiavo bill, bankruptcy bill, against stem cell research even though he is an insulin dependent diabetic and is very pro-war. About the only thing he sides with the real Democrats on is Social Security. I'm hoping that someone decides to run against this POS in next year's primary, but it isn't looking too good. He's got the backing of the Cook County Regular Democratic organizations, so the chances of someone taking him on are pretty slim.

As for the Senate, what can I say. Illinois has to be very proud of both of them. I would literally walk on nails for both Dick Durbin and Barack Obama. The Land of Lincoln is lucky to have them both.

[political_invader]

52. My congressman is a puke ( California)

arrested for picking up a prostitute Ken Calvert a true member of the BFEE. He refuses to answer any of my phone calls, snail mail ( I have even sent it certified and it gets returned) nor will this cluck return any emails what a rep huh?

Senators Boxer and Feinstien

[Elwood P Dowd]

53. I don't have anyone serving me

Mike Rogers, our congressman, serves the corporate donors. My two Alabama senators are yes men for the Bushits.

Rogers even voted for CAFTA, knowing it would eliminate more jobs here in East Alabama. As they say in the south, "He's as worthless as tits on a boar hog".

[Catchawave]

54. Sens John Warner/George Allen, Rep Thelma Drake

Warner's ok, but Allen and Drake are bleagh!!!

[DemGirl7]

55. New York 22nd district.

My Congressman is Maurice Hinchey, who is a member of the Progressive Democratic Causus within the House. I love him, He hates Bush & his cronies, and his remarks about them has gotten his name on both the news and this message board a few times. I think he has done an excellent job, personally. My senators are Clinton, who I used to like, but is too DLC anymore these days, and Schumer, who I guess is doing a ok job, but can be better.

[LittleClarkie]

56. Wisconsin. Congress - Sensenbrenner. Senate - Feingold and Kohl

Sensenbrenner... need I say?

Feingold and Kohl... Feingold more than Kohl, most days.

[never cry wolf]

57. Rookie Dino Missy Bean (at least not Crane anymore)

And of course, Obama and Durbin!

[hootinholler]

59. Same state, different district

Concur with Sarbanes and Mikulski assessment, not enough public fight there, but it is the Senate.

Roscoe Bartlett (R) Slime. Claims to be an inventor, farmer, businessman and all around nice guy. Let the enlisted MPs from Cumberland be screwed by the Military for AG abuses without as much as lifting a finger towards investigation of superiors, let alone Gonzales. Adept at pork he has brought jobs to Frederick (Ft. Dietrick).

-Hoot

[Doomsayer13]

60. CA 23 - pretty damn good

Congresswoman Lois Capps (D) - Nicest lady ever, good liberal with some fiscal moderate leanings. Great lady, I'll vote for her as long as she runs.

Sen. Boxer - I'm always in her corner.

Sen. Feinstein - has been much better lately.
