Default Re: Lobbyists, What Are They Good For!

BTK - You are right - the squeaky wheel gets the grease! But also as we can't blame those who are actively involved - we need to be our own most effective lobbyists.
As I have stated on other political posts (such as Energy Independence), I had written to 7 of our elected representatives from Florida and a Presidential candidate over 2 weeks ago about energy credits.
Only ONE representative from Florida (Paige Kreegel) took the time to have one of his staff members reply. Sen Obama's office also responded.
The ones I have yet to hear from are listed below - they got a second email through their websites from me again yesterday. Let's see what happens...
