By the way, don't forget to support me when I come up for reelection, just as I supported you on your issue in the past!

Yeah, I was considering an attempt at a response that would convey the corresponding ambiguous-ness (ambiguocity?) regarding my support for his future campaigns, but it's not worth the effort.

I really did not think the 100k goal was attainable in the short time frame we were given. Now that it seems clear that the goal will be reached is it bad karma to hope for 120k by July 5th? Nicely done everyone

I will support/oppose your re-election bid based on your actions to pass/reject this legislation.

The 'Pardon Snowden' petition got more than 125k sigs within 2 weeks of opening. So this is big, but it begs grains of salt in context.

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



Unfortunately, a non-response response.

Hmmm, it appears he chose the appropriate profession for putting out a lot of words while saying nothing.

I suspect he did not want to embarrass himself by disagreeing with you, but at the same time did not want to put in writing anything that might offend car dealership lobbies that contribute money to his reelection campaigns.

 

[ChrisH]

And by 11:05 I meant 10:52 haha

Hmm not quite. 11:00 it is. Lets get this thing to 120k
