Surprising

In March or April of this year when the presidential primaries were all crazy I had my class of 30 middle school students write letters to the candidates asking them some questions about their views on topics such as education, immigration, the economy,  and global warming (they chose the topics).  We wrote to 8 candidates, four on each side.  NONE responded by May.  So we wrote again, still nothing.  I wrote a follow up letter in June and still NOTHING.  I'm surprised and sad. Come on!  Those letters came from real people with real issues needing real answers.  Sheesh! Not even Ron Paul responded.

You want real disappointment (and who doesn't)? Write to your current Republican senator and see what you get.
