What do we do when our elected Senators and Representatives ignore us? My Senator, Russ Finegold, does not accept emails. He replies to mailed letters w/boilerplate and sometimes with the exact same press release to which I am responding. He is MIA outside of his stronghold of Madison. He sends aides to the boonies, where there are Republicans. My critter, Ron Kind, is Hillary's sock puppet. He makes it perfectly clear he only represents Democrats. He has turned his back and walked away from constituents, after asking them their party affiliation, if they reply Independent.

The State and local media simply takes dictation from these incompetent partisans and never questions them or examines them.

I have been totally disenfranchised since Steve Gunderson decided not to run again. Yes, I know his orientation, but he did his job, met face to face with us and was accessible & accountable. I once asked him if he thought this nation was still governable. It was in a public meeting shortly before he decided to not run again. He looked straight at me and said:"I am afraid to examine that question."
