Check your email....
Late last night, I dashed off a fairly mediocre but polite email to Asa Hutchinson and I actually got a reply back. Mainly because of it's brevity, it didn't seem like the usual non-information form response. Maybe he's actually reading some of his correspondence.
Here's my email:
To: Hutchinson, Asa
Sent: Fri Jul 09 03:51:28 2004
Subject: Appearance on the Ken and John Show
Mr. Hutchinson:
It was courageous for you to go on the Ken and John show. I applaud you for that and for your role during the impeachment hearings. However, it would be even more courageous for you to do everything possible protect our borders. Border state taxes are out of control because our hospitals, schools and welfare services are overburdened with illegal immigrants. It is not fair to American taxpayers and it is dangerous. As easy as it is for Mexican laborers to come over the borders, a terrorist can easily do the same thing.
You are a moral and ethical person. If there is another attack on this country, I know you would personally regret not doing everything possible to secure our borders. You have shown in the past you have both the character and will to do the right thing. You have done so at great political cost. However, every significant poll shows that American citizens, by overwhelming margins, want the federal government to control our borders. Please listen to your fellow citizens. You would have their overwhelming support and gratitude just by enforcing the law!
Sincerely,
lainde XXXXXXX

Thanks for your note. I will do my best. Asa hutchinson

Probably a canned reply to a keyword in the subject line.
