More thank yous

Some of you have tried to send your expressions of gratitude to Boxer and the noble 31, only to run into a problem: Some of our elected representatives have set up their home pages in such a way that they cannot accept email from people outside their districts.

To get around that roadbloack, go here. (And thanks to Katie for the suggestion.)

Hi, Joseph! I'm happy to have found your website, and find your posts incisive and inspiring. However, I'm not sure how this link helps me to get around the website form problem for specific representatives. What do I click on once I follow your link? The "issues" drop-down menu does not include "election reform" or "voting rights," so I don't know how this helps me. Am I missing something obvious? I hate to ask stupid questions, but would hate much more to miss out on the chance to thank every rep who stood up for us.

I was thinking, as an alternative, to get hold of each rep's fax number. Time consuming, I know, but better than not expressing my gratitude.

Bless you! -- Kate

Yeah, I had the same problem. I thought it would take a while to thank 32 heroes, but little did I know...I ended up going to homepage websites and either emailing them from there or calling and leaving a message...as a result...I only got to thank a little more than a third of them.

And, yes, they need to add election reform...no one has that as an option...not even Kerry...who I also wrote (to support not criticize).

Perhaps we need to make more phone calls just to get them to add election reform as an option...but who decides that...that may be a problem if the majority party in power actually has that sort of control...i mean didn't they also have the power to change the name of french fries...

I used what free time I have to express my anger at this outrageous piece of journalistic slime that exists, get this, on a so-called "left-wing" news analyses site.
