It's because of your previous posting that I specifically followed up on his vote. It's a shame that they pretend to be open-minded but seem to be doing it just for show as a matter simply of giving the impression to constituents that they actually care. The fact that Talbot voted against even Baldone's amendment underlies the deceptiveness of their supposedly humanitarian rationale in support of this legsilation.<BR/><BR/>But you tried! So, thanks for doing that. Let's move on to our State Senators. Maybe we'll find a more receptive audience with them. Don't give up! We should always fight for what is right.Huckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15878450464298055466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704399.post-54652185574193015202008-05-15T16:09:00.000-05:002008-05-15T16:09:00.000-05:00I'm very disappointed in my rep., Talbot.

Someone from my household called me a couple of days later to let me know there was a message from Talbot's aide, Tia Russell, on my answering machine asking to discuss the issue further. I sent her an additional email saying I'd be more then willing to talk more about this issue and I offered her my cell phone number. She wrote a very curt email back, saying that she had left that message <I>before</I> she emailed me the first time and did not need to discuss anything further with me. <BR/><BR/>So, they completely discounted me after I stated legitimate reasons with documentation as to why these bills were poorly written and bigoted in their intent. Also, I never gave her my address or home phone number, so she must have looked me up on the voter registration rolls and called my house (!!!) before attempting to respond to my email via email. Creepy! I did not like that at all, but I was willing to overlook it if they were going to truly listen to my views. Sadly, they did not.<BR/><BR/>Republican politics as usual.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704399.post-85115272685405366302008-05-15T13:36:00.000-05:002008-05-15T13:36:00.000-05:00My rep, Walter Leger, voted no on all three.
