What happened while I was sleeping? Did a "real" person get elected to high office? Thank you, Mike, for giving a damn about the people who put you in office. Till now, I was afraid it would be "business as usual"; for BIG business, I mean. You are among a breed of politician that recognizes lobbyists are NOT VOTERS. WOW! I hope you will show this to your compadres so they too can recognize the truth. It is high time that the MANY speak loudly (with words) and the FEW get slapped for being GREEDY. May I further recommend that those GREEDY politicians among you wake up to reality; before they get sent home to seek other employment. We are their BOSS, NOT LOBBYISTS! James Colter, Port Angeles, WA
