U.S. Senator vs. Talk Radio (re: the immigration bill)

Why are Republican Senators so eager to grant amnesty! What are they smoking? Here's the latest on the immigration issue. Senator Lott is complaining that Americas Talk Radio hosts are creating a big problem by causing voters to call the congressional switchboard more than ever over this immigration bill which he and Pres. Bush and Ted Kennedy are trying to shove down our throats even though it failed the cloture vote on June 7. It failed because many Americans called or wrote in saying "don't do it". Now they're scrambling around making threatening deals with Jr. Senators to vote in favor of the bill. It's really ugly! Republican and Democrats alike. So, I guess we need to stop being such a "big problem" for our elected officials. Yeh - sure!!! I think the vote is today - it may have already happened. I sent the following letter to Lott's office. Senator Lott: We met at Tom Stewarts ranch in 1999. I was campaigning for King County Assessor. It is my opinion that your recent personal attacks regarding talk radio proves to me that you're out of touch with the American public. I have supported your positions for the most part over the years but you're so far off base on this one that it makes me wonder what you spend your time doing? We get more information out of talk radio than we do your office or any other government office for that matter. You should be pleased that talk radio is out there primarily in support of mostly conservative issues. If talk show hosts can light up the Congressional switchboard, doesn't that tell you that Americans are listening to the issues? If that's a problem for you - you should either change the way you do business or find another job. I am publishing your comments and this letter on www.talkamerican.blogspot.com
