not trying to get anybody angry, but i do hope everyone is also writing to all of your elected officials as much as you write on here.
Not only do I regularly communicate via mail, phone, and e-mail with my elected officials, I know most of them on a first name basis -- even though I spend the majority of my life OUTSIDE the USA. And last year I stayed for more months that I cared to in the USA to help my "elected officials" win. And most of them did -- including Harry Reid.
How many here can say they've been in the same room (in fact, within garroting distance) of Sharron Angle? Thought so. Fortunately, killing things, especially other human beings, is against my belief system.
I wasn't and still am not terribly thrilled to have Harry as my Senator. But the alternative was so much fucking worse. And --- surprise, surprise --- several of my very good friends (who, sadly are Republican) won positions in county government. I also campaigned and voted for them. Just imagine!
But in many instances there were no Democrats running as opposition candidates and the option was "same ass holes as usual" or "new" Republicans -- men and women who know me, know I'm gay, consider me a friend and trust me with their children. Plus, they know we have a great deal in common regarding jobs and keeping the wild and woolly West wild.
My greatest contribution in the last election was to provide hours of HD video of our previous County Sheriff cutting and bailing hay while he emphatically claims he was working full-time as Sheriff in the Sheriff's office. Not only did we nail the Republican asshole for not doing his job and receiving a paycheck for not doing his job, we were able to clean house of more than a handful of County Deputies who no one -- Republican or Democrat or Anything -- could stand; especially one guy who had video taped himself having sex with his 14 year-old step daughter and another guy who felt that county property was for his personal use and didn't see any conflict of interest "borrowing" ATVs from the Sheriff's Office to go Elk and Deer hunting.
And how about you, Mr. Pierced? Have you done anything except turn the cushions on your couch in the last two years? You haven't made me angry, but you have captured my interest. :smile:
