and senator dr tom coburn r. Can't wait to see what the response with be from them to that. I can just hear it now, cough, hack a little throat noises followed by some more noises and a why what do you ask that for madokie. I'll prolly just get the same ole tired form letter I always get and it'll prolly be in about 6 weeks or so before I do as always. But I think it will be worth it even if its for nothing more than to give them pause.

1. Instead of making it a yes or no question....
Why don't you just give them two choices:

Are you being blackmailed or are you or your family being threatened?

2. yes thats a better idea
thanks because I was hoping I might get some response with advice or suggestions as to how to put it to them. sometimes ask a question straight up will knock someone off guard and their response will tell you all you need to know.

5. How about "How long have you been blackmailed?"
that would really put him on the spot...

3. I like these questions.
And it seems like one or both circumstances (blackmail or threats) are the things that could explain the consistently timid behaviors of those we elected to act on our behalf.

It's a sad sign of my times that I believe it not only possible but thoroughly likely.

4. with the bush* crew and their wiretapping and all
I think its a very good chance that is the cause for the weaknesses exhibited by our congress critters.
