A brief update to "insane action" below

I have received an e-mail from one of the three to whom I sent my letter regarding the campaign finance reform decisions. So far, the only one of my congressmen who has seen fit to even program his e-mail system to acknowledge receipt of messages is Barack Obama.

Full text of his message is as follows:


"From:  
Obama, Barack (Obama)
[ Add to Address Book | Block Address | Report as Spam ]

To: [my personal e-mail address]

Subject:  
Thank you

I have gone to his site, and am in the process of composing a more concise and pointed missive to send through his provided form. No expectations have I built up, though.

I have yet to receive confirmation of the messages I sent to Durbin and Evans, let alone real responses.


I suppose I am now in "crackpot neocon" territory. Sigh.
