The extremely American experience of writing a letter to your congressional rep with a 0% chance of it ending up anywhere other than the trash, unread.
- Letters to congress critters, like all correspondence, is looked at by the aides. Letters carry more weight than phone calls,etc. They can see by the postmark if you are part of their voting block, and there is an assumption that if you took time to write them there are at least 10 others that feel the same way you do. Doesn't mean the Congressman will agree with you, though.
  
  I've received numerous fuckoff letters back from aides, signed by my (dem) reps. I don't see the difference between that and my original letter ending up in the trash.
Truly remarkable.
- Yes. If only Republicans cared or had actual morals. ಠ_ಠ
He's too busy sharing his spank bank with his son to make a decision that has any value to human life.
Haven't you heard? All life has value, except for the knuckle babies he and his son are discharging into their jocks.
Who cares what a bunch of Europeans in skinny jeans thinks? This letter might force him to dig in more. None of them can fire his ass, but a handful of wingnut Republicans can.
