They can be slow in responding, but they usually come through. McHenry's office is faster. I hate to admit it, but Mel Watt's folks will always call back.

I called Brad Miller's office also. They had no clue.

You seem to be pretty sure, from your perch on the Left Coast, that protectionism plays well in the South. From my closer perspective, that's not the case

A quick web search on the strings "myrick" and "Cafta" will lead you to many comments pointing out that her lone NC vote for CAFTA will indeed lead to problems for her, in their opinion. You're entitled to yours, of course. My opinion is again, that she's doing damage control. Hope it works on a national level. Need all the help we can get.

But forgive me if I seem a little cynical about her motivation.

I believe she is doing more than grandstanding but has sincerely espoused this cause

And I sincerely hope she has too. But politicians, even the Sainted Republican Version, are notable for being good actors. Some have even made the jump from one profession to the next (although Fred Thompson seems to be the only guy who went from politician to successful actor!).
