Congress Listens!
September 29th, 2008
So I’ve never, ever written a letter to a congressperson before, even as I listen with admiration to my friend’s husband talk about calling his senators. But this bail-out thing got me so worked up, it was time.
And it seems like they listen. This weekend, my state representative, Congresswoman Judy Biggert, wrote back and said she was fighting for us. Today, even with a close vote, the bail-out was turned down. Now we’ll have to see what happens next.

It’s amazing how well they listen in an election year, isn’t it?
I wrote to my Representative for the first time as well, and was glad to see he voted against the bill.
I am motivated to voice my opinion more often, although it may be difficult to see bills up for votes that aren’t as public as this one has been.
It will definitely be interesting to see what happens now.
Well, at least we used the system and tried to make our voices heard, huh?
Hey thats awesome! I wrote my congressman about veterans’ right to vote and got a response as well! It was probably signed by some underling, but I still felt great about getting my voice heard. Yay for us!
