R.S.V.P.

I take part if a few email campaigns (tell my senator to support this not that, stop big oil, WTF about Iraq, the usual suspects) supported a few different Websites. The other day was the first time I have ever gotten a response from my Senator to an email I have sent out. Okay, it does help that I know have a democratic senator (who I voted for needless to say) who actually has a lot of the same views I do, but still it is nice to get that acknowledgment. That was one of the things that ticked me off about my last senator. Fine, you don't feel the same way I do but You represent Me and my taxes pay your wages. The courtesy of a reply is not too much to ask for. Heck, this is the email age and all he needed to do was have an automated response. Anyhow, thank you Sherrod Brown for your reply it is greatly appreciated. If you were wondering, my email was to encourage the senate to oppose the nomination of Dr. John Holsinger to be Surgeon General of the United States.

P.S.
here is the reply from my senator

Dear Mr. (VinnieG):

Thank you for contacting me to express your thoughts on the nomination of Dr. John Holsinger to be Surgeon General of the United States.

The Surgeon General, as "America's Doctor," is expected to provide non-biased and scientifically-accurate medical information to the public. There is concern that some actions and statements made by Dr. Holsinger bring into question his ability to adequately serve all sections of American society. Particularly, statements he has made about gays and lesbians trouble me.

I am a member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, which has jurisdiction over this nomination. I have expressed my concerns to Committee Chairman, Sen. Edward Kennedy, and I will certainly consider your views if Dr. Holsinger's nomination reaches the full Senate for a vote. Thank you again for contacting me.


Sincerely,
Sherrod Brown
