36. !! ^_^ !! Self-flagellation... yeah, I know it well.
Good for you for fighting the good fight! :yourock:

Just be sure to be really good to yourself, and get the nurturing you need to keep yourself strong.

Former Rep. Tony Hall (the one who is behind the Fasting For Hunger that many Dem women are now engaging in), said that EVERY CITIZEN should demand a face-to-face meeting with their Rep at least once a year. He said specifically not to settle for an aide, but to make sure you were meeting withh your Rep.

He also emphasized that if a Rep got 1,000 pieces of mail on a subject, "You can be sure that issue would become a priority."

It sounds like you are really up against that brick wall, and especially if you are pushing some of the poverty issues, you have my gratitude for a thankless job well done! :applause:
