In reply to the discussion: Senator Casey Stirs Local Debate Over Contraception Vote [View all]HopeHoops
(47,675 posts)14. When I moved to NH, Douglass (I think that was his name) was my rep.
Every month I'd get a newsletter (paid for with his frank) about how much he'd been like GHWB that month. Dick Swett (yes, that was his real name) replaced him in state that was very red at the time. EVERY time I wrote to him I got a timely reply that addressed the specific issue I had written about AND included updates on issues I'd written about in the past. Damn his staff had a good filing system!
Unfortunately, Swett lost to Charlie Bass a few years later. His downfall was the ill-chosen term "slippery fish" in one of their debates. That did not go over well.

That's one of the few votes I don't agree with. I'm waiting for the fervor to die down a bit before

It isn't just him, that's true of all of their offices, but he at least responds.
