>>As for his web site only responding to the constituents of his state, I agree this is BS. YOu may have an inkling of the anger and frustration I had during the impeachment fiasco trying to contact the likes of Tom Delay, who only responded to his DISTRICT, not even his state, while working 24 hours a day to impeach the president elected by the entire nation.

You wouldn't believe the hoops I had to jump through to leave a stinking phone message for Rep. Rogan, during that same period. And I live in his district. They wanted about 2 minutes of proof of who I was and where I lived, before I could get to his voice mail. Even so, he never responded to any of my letters or calls.

In their defense, congressmen probably do not have the budget or the staff to deal with correspondence from the entire nation. Still, important committee members, and especially committee chairs should expect to hear from the nation about the topics that they are in charge of.
