It struck me recently that it would be a good idea to give Senator Whitehouse some feedback and suggestions; he's been doing a good job so far, but he's not a mind-reader and some feedback seems appropriate. I AM a constituent, after all!
Of course it's just going to be read by a staffer, but I hope the basic message - subpeonas and global warming - gets passed on in some form, if only as an aggregate "constituent feedback" precis.
Just a note to urge you to continue pursuing testimony from Rove, Miers, Goodling, and others who are involved in this apparently wide-ranging scandal. I don't believe that the White House will ever offer serious co-operation in any way with Congress on this issue; they've made it clear that their intention is to run out the clock.
I, for one, hope to see subpoenas - even if they have to be litigated. The White House is stonewalling, and they will take any attempt at compromise or reasonableness as a sign of weakness.
Please don't back off on this issue. The perversion of the DOJ into a tool for real election fraud - unlike the fabricated stories of fraud which Republicans have been using to disenfranchise minorities and the poor - must be thoroughly investigated.
On a completely unrelated note, at the dinner in Woonsocket last year you spoke quite strongly about the EPA decision to undermine anti-pollution cases and judgements against power plants in mid-western states. I agreed with you at the time, and since then signs of global warming have become much clearer and more alarming.
Water levels around the area do not seem to be going down; every morning on my commute I see more and more lawns flooded, and they aren't drying. I realize that this is anecdotal, but given the record heat and bizarre weather patterns we've seen lately, I am VERY concerned about the world that my son will inherit - and (though this may seem over-dramatic) about the future of our species. I'll gladly support any action you take to ameliorate the global warming crisis.
Thanks, and please keep up the good work!
