I really, REALLY don't want this country to jump on the fast track to war with Iran?

I write and I write and I write. It never seems to matter. They always send me some bullshit letter about how much they like to hear from me...then do the exact opposite of what I asked them to do. I feel like if I write them to NOT go to war with Iran, that is probably the thing they are going to do.

1. Yes, and I do feel your pain!
I had a collection of the letters from Fred Thompson, and when I thought he couldn't be outdone in the arrogance dept., there was FrankenFrist, whose responses were so arrogant they were maddening! I receive letters from my rep., Zach Wamp, and from Alexander that have absolutely nothing to do with what I called/wrote/e-mailed about, that it's ridiculous, but at least I know that I'm at least trying.

Keep on keeping on, and never give up the good fight!

2. I am starting to get the feeling that their staff sees my name and says..
"Oh, its that Democrat."

3. Over the years there have LTTEs in the local paper stating just
how bad Wamp's office is. I've had his staffers ask me if I contributed to his campaigns and get downright indignant when I stated, "what does that have to do with the reason that I called?"

I do understand your frustration, but just don't give up is all that I can say. :hi:

5. Call GOP contributor and war contractor General Electric Corporation at 203 373 2211
Call GOP contributor and war contractor General Electric Corporation at 203 373 2211 and ask for the public relations department. Tell the person in public relations that you want the GE CEO to get Bush to end the war in Iraq and then Bush resign with Cheney and until that happens you will not buy any GE products and that you will tell your friends about this.

4. Please continue to write...
However, with regard to Graham and Demint, you might find it much more productive pissing in a fan.
