My congressdipstick

My latest reply from him:

-----------------------------------

Thank you for contacting me about the National Landscape Conservation
System Act. I appreciate hearing from you.

In 2000, the Secretary of the Interior established the National
Landscape Conservation System (NLCS) to protect and restore about 26
million acres of the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) landscapes.
This includes National Monuments, National Conservation Areas,
National Scenic and Historic Trails, Wilderness Study Areas, and Wild
and Scenic Rivers.

The National Landscape Conservation System Act would codify the
current NLCS program. On April 9, I voted in favor of this legislation
and it passed the House by a vote of 278 to 140. It now goes to the
Senate for further consideration.

I know that your views are strongly held and I regret that we disagree
on a matter that is so important to you. I always welcome your views
even if we do not always agree.

I believe our national landscapes reflect our national identity and
must be preserved. Please contact me about other issues important to
you. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Brad Miller
Member of Congress

I'm not seeing it. All I see is that he attempted to be polite while
telling me to STFU and just vote for him because he's right and I'm an
idiot.

Well, that's better than my congress critters. Someone read your
e/mail and at least acknowledged you disagree with their opinion.
Those crazy CA bitches we have in the Senate have staff that only sees
the keywords like "Global Warming" and "Environment" and then tell me
thank you for supporting their point of view regardless of the letter
content and meaning. I say FO with a redwood tree, sideways. Twice
on Sundays!

I get canned responses from him for the most part. Yes, it does
show that at least someone on his staff read it.

I just complained about exactly that before I read your message here.
Both cows ought to be retired. Redwood trees are good things and we
should keep them. Pupfish are completely different. More freeways,
less bullshit.

I've signed up for a lot of survey-thingies which pay between a pittance
and $5/pop for my opinions. I just made $3.00 for telling somebody that
human-caused global warming was a crock and Al Gore was a goddam liar.
Hope they enjoyed it.

Now they're thinking about making the long-delayed (35 years) 710
freeway link an underground toll road. I'll say it again: pave South
Pasadena border to border for use as a parking lot.

That's what they all say.

My senator thanked me for agreeing with her, which she got exactly
wrong. Goddam people can't even get it right when all they have to
choose is (1) FOR or (2) AGAINST.

I'd suggest you contact him about how important it is to you to see
him defeated in the next election.
He probably feels pretty safe voting this way on the east coast. I'll
bet the reps from Utah and Idaho aren't so cavalier.
Of course, the reps from California would probably send your address
to the Sierra Club to picket your house.
The more our government does, the better anarchy looks.

Some parts of the east coast - this district apparently. I'd
venture to guess that the better part of the state feels somewhat
differently, but they're gerrymandering experts around here.

I've always thought that Libertarianism was as close to "organized
anarchy" as was feasible. I just wish it wasn't a wasted vote for
the most part.

Honorable so & so shares your concern about *(^^%%*& values your input....

Look at it this way: Your one vote for either major party won't make a
damn bit of difference anyway. A Libertarian vote, OTOH, is more
significant and might possibly make the difference in pushing them into
the 'major party' group, which might make a BIG difference.
