there?...Absolutely!...however, I have engaged my own Congressman personally in face-to-face meetings on an issue near and dear to me...Nuclear Power. While I appreciate his openness on that issue, I really admire his fundamental 'Ethos' when it comes to the American Experience...case in point...he's a native born American, but his parents are immigrants from India. Throughout his tenure in Congress he's held monthly Town Hall meetings with pre-meeting gatherings for groups and individuals with concerns/questions as well as post-meeting greeting lines for well wishers and petitioners. Coincident with those Town Halls for over a year, he was subjected to vigorous and vocal opposition outside the venues...by constituents of Indian descent!...a major concern of theirs was that he joined in meetings of a Pakistani caucus, their bitter rivals. In spite of the discomfort, he repeatedly explained that as the Congressman for his district, he represented ALL citizens and as such he needed to understand the Pakistani perspective as well as his own innate understanding to the Indian position. This is my view of a "Public Servant"...don't need to line up on every issue, but I certainly want someone who has to courage to stand for the phrase "E Pluribus Unum"...they do exist and he's not the only one...on either side of the aisle.

Let's get rid of the easily identifiable 'fakers', and rebuild the GOP.
