I just phoned my congresscritter

[xiphias]

And told his office that I was horrified and offended by his vote on HR 153, for a day of prayer and fasting. I said that, as a Jew, I felt that only rabbis were allowed to declare a day of prayer and fasting, and this was an offensive usurpation of relgious power by the government.

*Please* tell me his response wasn't, "I'd like to help ya, son, but you're too young to vote."

Are you folks also in Markey's district? I called him too.

[xiphias.livejournal.com]

Yep.

Can you tell me where I can find out whether or not my congresscritter voted for this thing?

[xiphias.livejournal.com]

Here.

Thanks much. I'm horrible at actually finding things on the 'net, I have to ask people with better librarian access. ;)

Hmmm. . . "present". Well, better than nothing. I think I'll send him a letter thanking him for at least not voting for.

I may have to call in a thank-you. My congresscritter is doing very well this week. (Charles Rangel, D-Harlem).

Hey, neighbor! (Also in Rangel's district).

I'm also glad that he voted against.
