I e-mailed both of Virginia’s Senators twice with my opposition to the Omnibus package with all its earmarks. I encouraged both to vote with Bayh and Feingold against the package. I reminded them all Americans are attempting to live within their means, so why shouldn’t the government. Of course, both of our spineless senators supported the Omnibus package. 

     This is the third time our junior senator has responded prior to our senior senator to my e-mail. His response acknowlged my complaint, but certainly didn’t address it. One of the points I made in both notes to Warner was that his e-mail contact form allows for a “Topic” choice from 50 different items -absent that 50 choice menu is the topic of the “Budget”. Considering budgetary matters are one of the true enumerated powers granted these clowns, he might want to make it a topic choice. See for yourself here. Of course, animal rights, nutrition, and reproductive health are topic choices. I’ll let you know if the Budget ever gets added to our junior Senator’s choices for Topics worthy of his contact.
