125. Try getting the attention of a politician. I wrote a letter |
|
to a Presidential candidate earlier this year about a local matter I thought would be of interest. I didn't expect a personal reply, but I thought perhaps it would end up on the desk of an aide and I'd get at the very least some sort of "thank you for bringing this to my attention" form letter response. What I got was my name put on a fundraising list, and I've been bombarded ever since. The letter was never even acknowledged.
My own so-called "representative" in Congress is a vile repuke who tows the party line. A rubber stamp would be just as effective and a lot cheaper.
The ordinary person has no representation, and it's reached the point where the politicians don't even pretend to care.
