Contacting my Senators would only incite them to pass a law giving oil companies a right to prior restraint of publication. They could tell from my address that I'd never vote for them.
- dorfsmay 10y agoSo why participate in a debate about politics here if you don't vote anyway?
- tanderson92 10y agothyrsus didn't say they didn't vote; they said they didn't vote for their senator. Presumably the address is in a rural area (if Senator is a Democrat) / urban area (if Senator is a Republican).
- thyrsus 10y agoExactly correct. In 29 years of eligibility I've missed two elections - and I'm including all primaries, city, and county elections in that tally; one of the two I missed was a local runoff election that got almost zero media coverage - I heard about it after it happened. Senators Burr and Tillis will see a Chapel Hill address and high five each other that they're diametrically opposed.
