Sewall <[log in to unmask]> (860) 486-2489 voice ------------------ I know this doesn't really relate to this list, but I find this practice *very* disturbing. It is often the case that an MC from another state is sponsoring/supporting an important bill which will potentially affect all citizens, not just the ones in her/his own district. That is the nature of a *federal* government! Why should I be barred from giving my input (via e-amil or any other means) about such measure just because I don't happen to be in the position to reassure or defeat their re-election? I'm still affected by the outcome! Please, please, pass this message on to your representatives, since it appears that I would not be able to do so!
