Keep those cards and letters going to your Reps.and Senators ,not an email it's to easy to hit the delete button on a computer . I have found a post card works well and is cheaper ,when we go to the PO we just pick up about $5 worth and send them when something is up .
Seems we have little to work with here in the state of Arizona...... In that I refer to the two faced senators and congressmen....We have here! 1 good thing, for us here, but extremely horrific for the entire nation, was to have former Gov. Janet Napolitano leaving,.......only to become secretary of DHS! Oh great. This won't be good! I think I'll list list now as the excedrin headache # 1!
Ya-hoo!! Not Texas, but related to rejecting federal interference with intra state commerce. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30482736/
