I don't want to brag but look at what I just got

Tom --

Decisions are made by those who show up. That is never truer than on Election Day. And in Ohio, people like you have some important decisions to make.

The polls open tomorrow morning, which means it's time to step up, make a plan for how you're going vote, and stick to it.

Commit to vote now:

I know he must have gotten my name when i went to one of his speech's
in 2008 and then he had to have overheard somebody talking to me and using my
name.

The B-man's rolodex must be huge.

a response to some email I sent about a bill regarding veterans' rights or something. I had to read it six times to convince myself it really wasn't a form letter. I was impressed. I'd never gotten a real response from any politican before, ever.

When President Obama was my Senator he replied directly to my e-mails with responses that were directed to my e-mail point by point. They were not form letters. They only time I have had that happen was when my U.S. Representative was a childhood friend. Too bad he is now (retired) a lobbyist.

Why, oh why, do I leave these for the last minute? Ugh. At least one is a Tim Eyman (local doofus from way back- these days they would call him a teabagger but we called him the idiot who just won't stop) so that's one less initiative I have to study. Eyman = No.
