[keys]

I signed, obviously. Not US citizen though, just think it's ridiculous what could happen if nada got their way.

Probably started by someone in Texas.

And the CA/TX hate continues.

On a related note, I received a response from my US Senator today:

Dear XXXX,

Thank you for contacting me regarding legislation that restricts direct sales. I appreciate your taking the time to share your specific views with me.


Like you, many Coloradans have also contacted my office with their opinions on a wide range of issues, including energy, defense, health care, the environment, small businesses, education and other important topics. I believe the most fundamental aspect of my job as your U.S. Senator is to listen carefully to the views of every Coloradan. That is why I am grateful that you decided to contact me regarding this important issue. Your thoughts are essential to my understanding of where Coloradans stand on the important issues facing our state and nation.


I will continue to listen closely to what you and other Coloradans have to say about matters before Congress, the concerns of our communities, and the issues facing Colorado and the nation. My job is not merely about supporting or opposing legislation, but also about bridging the divide that has paralyzed our nation's politics. For more information about my positions and to learn how my office can assist you, please visit my website at www.markudall.senate.gov.

Warm regards,

Mark Udall
U.S. Senator, Colorado

Unfortunately, a non-response response.

Maybe around 11 am, surely before noon. Then it will be interesting to see how far it will get.

Wow. When TMC first jumped on this I thought no way we would get to 100k because we had already wasted 2 weeks. Great job, everyone!

It would be fun to send an equally content-free letter and see if you get the same response...

Indeed!

Less than 2,500 to go...

"I would like to contact your office about a wide range of issues"...
