Back when Bush and Cheney were working on getting us into Iraq (because Iraq had "weapons of mass destruction", but more importantly, oil) I sent my Senator, who was unfortunately Kay Bailey Hutchinson, a letter saying that I was not interested in potentially sacrificing my smart, capable son so the administration could take over some more oil fields based on what was CLEARLY manufactured evidence.

I got back an extremely snotty response from her saying that I should be happy to sacrifice my son for "freedom" and that he was no more important than anyone else's son.

(And she was considered "moderate".)

Wow, that's really shitty. We had Paul Wellstone representing us in those days. I miss him.

not in so many words :) but I did respond. Oddly, neither she nor her office ever answered that one...
