I do know politicians speak with forked tongues. I wrote a bunch of them back in 1991 trying to get help with the issue of my mental stability being put into issue at the U of MN Law Library/School when I wanted to be honest about an interest in victims' rights with potential employers when I learned the U of MN Law Library was not renewing my contract. The interest in victims' rights was based on my close connection with a double murder in Reno, NV in 1976. One of these murders was of my then high school teacher's daughter, Michelle, on my birthday of 2-24. This murder was a media event in Reno, NV for about 4 years as it took 3 years to solve Michelle's murder and then there was a trial. I had received a Memorial Scholarship (a very small one though) in the name of Michelle back in 1976-1977.

Anyway, I got some answers from US politicians including US Senators and Congressmen and some State Governors. Most were just a run-around though. Basically most just said that you need to write your PROPER US Congressional Representatives-- those from Minnesota. Think Senator Joe Biden wrote me back telling me that the Senators do not get involved in situations involving just one person. Cannot remember getting any responses from my PROPER US Congressional Representatives until I moved to CA in late 1991. Then the MN ones (Wellstone, etc.) told me I had to write the PROPER US Congressional Representative-- those of CA.
