That is exactly the reason I don't fire off letters to the Congress people in Texas. I don't live there anymore, what do they care what I think?

Senators. I've sent messges to Sen. Feinstein with most recent one receiving a response. Sen. Harris is newly elected but I believe she'll be strong also. I agree about Sen. franken's effective questioning. Have read that Congresspersons and Senators pay attention only to communiques from their constituents. Large donors would likely be a different matter.Joaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09088639390412338923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-38157218003469436792017-01-19T12:26:46.948-08:002017-01-19T12:26:46.948-08:00Yes, we had used the last egg.

Anger and prejudice are evil characters at work in our society depriving people of a lot of good experiences they might otherwise have experienced. <br /><br />Seasonal depression is a real problem for many people in this part of the country. Perhaps that's why we have a coffee shop on every corner, keeps people drunk on caffeine.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-37804481243451314322017-01-19T11:29:49.619-08:002017-01-19T11:29:49.619-08:00The rains came just in time.

In the end, I wrote several complimentary letters to the supervisors of the people who had done competent jobs. I like your idea of letting people know when you notice that they're doing the right thing. <br /><br />It makes me sad that many people cannot recognize President Obama's integrity. I think history will remember him kindly. One of the greatest burdens we place on high-level politicians is the task of making the hard decisions. They are sometimes faced with the choice between bad or worse, and they have to take responsibility for decisions that affect so many lives. Wisdom is hard won. I always wonder what they think about when they cannot sleep. <br /><br />I bet the people who suffer from seasonal depression in your area are struggling. I'm wishing sunshine on you.

Not only does Trump lie, his press secretary Sean Spicer, his chief of staff Reince Priebus, and Kellyanne Conway also lie. They lie knowing it can be fact checked and then they deny the facts.

A call every day or twice a day, the goal being to keep the office staff's phones ringing until they can't get any work done. The negative to that is you generally have to wait. I'm not good at waiting. Since I'm not protesting I'll write letters.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-29517058211963017592017-01-18T19:09:07.433-08:002017-01-18T19:09:07.433-08:00Never in a million years will I understand the per...Never in a million years will I understand the personal attacks on Obama and his family.

I understand people disagreeing with his agenda but I'm honestly mystified about why so many people can't see that he's a moral man of good character. Some of the names he's called, the hate coming his way and the misinformation that is spread about him is appalling and so unfair.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.com
