So I'm in my local coffee shop this morning

and in walks my Congressional representative. He's a D and someone from his staff always replies to my emails. I thought about engaging him, if only for a minute but I didn't, even public servants should have a quiet Sunday morning now and then. What would you have said to your Representative if this had happened to you?

Mine is Peter King. He scares me. He's nuts and has anger management problems, or so I've heard.

so probably say what i always say to him "Hey, Dave, Good to see you. I see your keeping up the good work." I I didn't say hello someone would ask if I was pissed about something.

if I could get her or something.

I loves me my congresscritter Chellie Pingree. I'm only aware of one vote from her that I questioned. Not only does she always vote the correct way, she does so for the correct reasons.

"When you're Majority Whip (and that will happen) please do your job well and get people to fall in line. Don't make that Congress as ineffective as the last several have been"

I'll keep voting for your Dem opponent every election until you stop acting like a blue dog.
