I received a very interesting email from Don Young, the house rep for AK.
Note that I have never received anything from him before.
In this email, there’s the usual pablum of “as a representative....” blah, blah, blah.
And then there is a poll. In this poll I am given the choice of 6 items I think the house should be focused on right now. The usual cast of “infrastructure improvements and maintenance”, “tax reform”, conveniently however, there was no mention of impeachment.
There was however an “other” box.
I’m pretty jaded politically, and I don’t usually participate in this crap, it gets my email on the radar. But this time I thought “why not”?
And you can bet I clicked “other”.
Submitted the survey and guess what? 33% of the other folks picked “other”, and the second highest in the poll was “infrastructure improvements and maintenance”, at a smooth 21%.
Think about that for a moment. Savor it.
Why would I receive an unsolicited email this week from my house representative? Why a poll worded in such a way to provide deniability?
I’m actually beginning to wonder if the winds might be changing ever so slightly.
