1. Hakim X got no DC address? Is he operating out of the Louis Farrakhan Celebration Mosque on K Street?

2. Has anyone sent a letter or called McCollum, I get very standard condescending form letters from her. It is really sad last year I think when she was up for reelection, the Rep guy trying to unseat her said that the RNC was not giving him enough money to compete. Don’t know if true but not good. Sad very sad.

3. I have no idea why the other contact information for Ellison was not included. His office in DC is 1122 Longworth Building Building, Washington DC 20515-2305.

   I’d also point out that snail mail to DC has to go through a security screening process that can delay delivery up to two weeks – something to consider if you want them to receive communication about a pending vote in time. All of them have email, although some like Bachmann only accept email from constituents. I have been surprised at the amount of specific detail I have received in email responses (expecting more general form letter equivalent responses).

   It is worth pointing out that even if you call DC you are probably not going to get to speak directly to your representative, but instead get an office staffer. You might consider as an alternative, if you are going to get an office staffer anyway, contacting the Minnesota office instead. The information is tracked just as carefully (or carelessly I suppose) either way; Minnesota offices do not seem to get one any less close to your elected representative.

4. Yeah, I’ll call Keith. Right after I’m done p*ssing into the wind. To about the same effect.

5. Still no response returned from Betty! McCollum.

6. I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you.
