Hello, Senator Allard!

Hi there, Senator Allard. I hope you are enjoying my blog. I am very glad that one of my United States Senators is interested in reading what I have to say. Even though Time magazine last year ranked you as one of the five worst senators, I am glad you care enough to search out my mention of you yesterday. Maybe that proves you have discriminating reading tastes, and you really don't belong on that list. Dang liberal media!! What did you expect, eh?

In any case, I am pretty certain it was you, or one of your staff, digging through the blogosphere to see how you are mentioned. I think this because I have never gotten a visit from the senate.gov domain until I mentioned your name yesterday, and then, this afternoon, there it is. Plus, you didn't enter the blog at the front page, but went directly to the post where you were mentioned.

I know you are a staunch Republican; and I an independently leaning liberal on social issues and more conservative on fiscal ones; but at least you are trying to find out what your constituents think. When I have written you directly, I invariably get a form letter back saying you disagree, but thanks for writing. So welcome to my blog, and please feel free to leave me comments anytime. We disagree on much, but undoubtedly we can agree that liberty is precious and should be protected. Once given away, it is next to impossible to regain.

I urge you to listen to your peers from the other side of the aisle. They didn't win the majority for no reason. The knee-jerk GOP rule our way or the highway doesn't work. Remember the so-called "nuclear option" to eliminate the filibuster? I bet you are glad that one didn't pass!

I will also commend you on keeping your promise to stay for no more than two terms. Sometimes power is addicting, so you have proven your integrity on that issue.

In any case, have a wonderful day, and remember you were sent to represent all of your constituency, not just the far right.

Randy
