A very slanted survey
I had to contact my state rep today (a republican) to see about getting a new Illinois State flag for my work and i saw his "on-line legislative survey" and noticed how all the questions are asked in a way to encourage a right wing response! Check it out:
http://www.davidreis.org/survey.htm
it says "I am best able to represent the concerns of the 108 th district when I hear first hand from my constituents" but then continues to be very leading in the questions and even more so in the wording of the answer options.

3. I'd like to think that expecting honesty wasn't such an
abstract notion. It is what we expect but I still was taken a back by it and it made me mad. This guy "represents" me and my family in the State of Illinois...

2. Yup. Might as well pre-fill out the survey and just give people a "submit" button to click on.
