I’ve been thinking about it too. At first I was skeptical as he is Republican. I have never been very hopeful of his winning. I see he has been a great success though. I really appreciate what he is saying on foreign policy and economic topics. I love how the mainstream medias bias against him shows exactly what they are about.The libertarian bent is actually invigorating. I do hate guns and gun laws as they are.As ususal, I am not crazy about supporting anyone else. I am going to send his a campaign a little thank you gift too.

Writing letters to Senators, Congressman, and even local politicians is a waste of time.
I was working with a young gal that was employed by Halliburton a few years ago, and she was drugged and allegedly gang raped in Iraq. For over 2 years, she could get no justice, the perps went free and there was never a court trial. Jurisdictional loopholes they claimed. DOJ was involved and didn’t do a damn thing.
We sent a well written letter to ALL Senators. Only a few wrote back and they referred to Barbara Boxer, and she never gave us the courtesy of a return letter. Some months later, this woman went on ABC’s 20/20, and NOW the Senate and the House are outraged. One hundred plus House Reps, and numerous Senators (to include Obama and Clinton) have now written to Department of State and the Attorney General to demand action. As much as I have conflict with the media, they were a benefit in this case.
Two years ago, I had a problem with the City. The Water Authority kept giving me the “sorry ma’am” line, it’s not our responsibility. I called Toni Atkins. I emailed her. I sent her snail mail. Called again. I finally talked to one of her staffers. Talked to her again. That woman didn’t do a damn thing. This went on for months.
Feeling pretty helpless and worried that my house was going to sink into the ground due to excessive water, I researched which City Councilperson voted against Condo Conversions. That was Donna Frye. Called her and left a message, and within ONE day, both Donna Frye’s office AND Toni Atkins lame staffer called me. Finally, we had the City’s attention, and the problem was resolved.
Letter writing didn’t help at all.

January 27, 2008 at 10:03 PM #143701bubba99ParticipantCould not agree more. Writing a letter will do nothing, and I am afraid that who you vote for will also have no impact. The two major parties seem to be part of the same bad concepts-they just dress them differently.
The anti-war democrats are still voting to fund Iraq. The anti-social program republicans are begging for bail outs for their Wall Street buddies. The pro liberty democrats not only voted to extend the anti-constitutional patriot act, they intend to make it stronger.
Both parties seem to think that a $1000/family can “kick start” the economy. Both parties have voted time and time again to move jobs overseas as fast as they can. It’s this last one that is so unbelievable. How does me spending a thousand dollars on a Chinese or Japanese product help expand our shrinking jobs market?
Neither party seems to be able to separate US foreign policy from Israeli foreign policy. At least someone should be looking at what is best for America, not America’s powerful allies. Yep maybe I should just write a letter to Feinstein about how I feel, or to Pelosi about her vast funding from the AI Pac.
