9. Oh, they've been hearing from me

I have a list of all of the aides in both Senators offices and who handles what. Normally, it is pretty easy to get them on the phone. Now they are all go to voicemail, but I really don't blame them for that.
I have called and emailed numerous times, but this was the first time interacting with our Gov.

Quick story about our Gov: He ran against Fritz Hollings for Senate last time Fritz ran. Behind in the polls and desperate for an issue, he said there had been allegations of cocaine use on the Senate floor (this was late 90s).
In a campaign appearance, he challenged Hollings to have a drug test and make the results public. When informed of this, Hollings replied, "I'll have a drug test if Henry will have an IQ test and make it public."
