having been an intern for a california state senator, i know the in and out's, good and bad's of politics pretty well... and if a constituent writes or calls in with opposing interest than the politician, their ideas get put on the back burner, if not thrown away all together. the politican could care less! they have bigger fish to fry...
and quite honestly, it’s obvious bush doesn't give a flying f**k about his people, or he wouldn't have run for president to begin with.
but that's just my two cents on it all.

What a load of crock that is. When you have a strong group of people writing in, calling in, faxing in, and emailing in, things work. If it didn't groups like the ACLU and tons of grassroots organizations would not devote so much resources to that. If it didn't then religious groups would have gotten nowhere. But you go on believing the politicans "could care less". I'm not even sure what "bigger fish to fry" means.
As for "and quite honestly, it’s obvious bush doesn't give a flying f**k about his people, or he wouldn't have run for president to begin with.", what the hell does that even mean? He won the majority of electoral and popular votes so obviously given those people care, he must have done something to connect with them.
But I'm glad that you're going to take a thread telling people to be proactive citizens and say it means nothing and then to try make this a partisan issue by attacking the President.
