represent Texas in the United States Senate, which means that there are millions of us Texans without any representation whatsoever in the United States Senate.
Personally, I've never received a single response of any kind from the hundreds of e-mails, letters, and phone calls I've made to Senator Box Turtle's office. Senator
Nipple Rings at least sends me a stock letter.
So this afternoon, instead of playing golf or devoting myself to unbridled capitalism, I spent about an hour dialing the offices of Democratic Senators, asking them to please represent the millions of Texans and others across the nation -- we the voiceless people -- and filibuster the nomination of Sam "
Sloppy Seconds" Scalito to the highest court in the land.
Here's a
link to their contact info. It's a two-minute call, and if you use your cell, it won't cost you a thing.
(P.S. These Senators are hosting a fundraiser next week in D.C. for
Barbara Radnofsky: Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, Charles Schumer, Robert Byrd, Daniel Inouye, Carl Levin, Patty Murray, Blanche Lincoln, Debbie Stabenow, John Kerry, Evan Bayh, and Ken Salazar. I'm sure BAR would give them her proxy-in-waiting on this issue.)
