That is why I like Barack as well-- because when you hear him speak, you realize that this is a very eloquent, intelligent, thoughtful person, who (whether or not you agree with his political stance) will listen to the people around him
We need a little icon for "Kool-Aid alert".
People I know who've contacted him have received form letters back which only peripherally relate to the communication received.
I've called his office about specific legislation in the past, several times-- I always ask for him directly-- never been put through.
Who is it you think he will listen to?
The "people around him" is what PB said. Is that you?
So, you wouldn't count his constituents as "the people around him?"
I'm in the mood for Tropical Punch today, how about the rest of you?
I would count the people around him as ALL the people around him, and mostly the people directly around him... and being realistic about his time constraints. I certainly would NOT expect that if I called his office, I would speak with him personally!
