June Updates
Over the past few years, many of you have implored me to “contact my congressman/senator” about a bill near and dear to your heart. That may have been a humanitarian crisis, a business issue, or some other noble cause. Whether or not I agree with your bill is moot, because as a resident of “the District,” I have no Senator or Congressman to contact. None. Instead, I can lobby in unique ways like donning full body paint and running laps around the Capitol, which may not be a form of expression available to you. So it’s fair, right? We both have a “voice” in Congress, don’t we?
Umm, not exactly. Though we don’t usually use this blog as a political forum, it’s our turn to ask YOU to do what we cannot do for ourselves. Contact that congressman/senator you assume all Americans have and remind them that your friends here in DC lack the “representation” that is generally assumed in a “representative democracy.” If you are so inclined or would like more information on the issue, click here.
Thanks for indulging me. Now, if you’re still with me, you can go to the photos page and click on the various “tags” at the bottom to see updated pictures. Specifically, click on “house” to see updates of the windows, “Simona” to see her latest adventures, or “June” to see what we’ve been up to this month.
