I got political this morning.

Woke up to find an email about the Homeland Security Bill being brought before the Senate, which had the numbers of both my senators included. So I called both their offices, and left a message that went roughly as so:

"I am calling to ask that the Senator vote against this bill. It goes beyond its stated goal of ensuring our security, and would if passed threaten our fundamental liberties granted by the Constitution. So as a Texan and a patriot, I ask that the Senator vote against this bill."

Given that I'm represented by Gramm and Hutchinson, I don't expect my opinion to mean that much to either, but at least I spoke my piece. Now I have to start getting the numbers of the House Representatives for my state.

The letters I've gotten back haven't even had that much substance to them. I swear, it's like when you go into politics they implant a doublespeak chip in your brain or something.

Same here. They're like "now now, little liberal, you go about your little playgames, and allow us REAL men and women to run the country...we know what's best for you, after all, God appointed us here!"

Gag.
