request a response. I always get a canned email so I figure it is waste of time but I still try.

When I do call one of heir office and talk to a staffer it is basically the same. It is pretty obvious that they feel secure in getting re-elected and do and say whatever that please. Assholes.

He's quite concerned and is actually trying to present himself as 'working across the aisle'. He worked with Manchin on some climate destroying bill . . .

I'm not a native Texas, I was transferred here in '74 and I hardly recognize Texas anymore.
