Shouting into the wind

I've written my congressional delegation, I've written the Speaker of the House, I've written the President—for some, more than once. At best, I received boilerplate replies that don't even acknowledge my specific issues. At worst, they have understood me to say exactly the opposite of what I have written.

Back in the day, when I had so-called "disposable" income, I made some campaign contributions, albeit very modest. And then I received specific replies. I even had a state representative call me at home to have me expand on my comments.

Don't tell me that it's not all about the money.

Of even greater certainty is that this blog accomplishes little other than for me to let off steam. Well, for right now, I'm taking my gripes down the road.
