“Now that's an 'OMFG'!
For quite some time my Senators and I have been in a state of equalibrium - they refusing to represent me, I refusing to vote for them but, I sent the following version of the "Act for Change" message to both Kay Bailey and John Cornyn...
Mr. Holmes, apparently not well versed in the facts or blinded by preconceptions, has written that abortion should not be available to rape victims because he believes "conceptions from rape occur with the same frequency as snow in Miami" (when in fact a recent study indicates that approximately 25,000 pregnancies occur each year in the U.S. as a result of rape), and in direct opposition to all modern strides towards equality for women has written that "the wife is to subordinate herself to her husband." These are not the statements I would expect from someone being considered for a judgeship in 21st century America.
Surely, Hutchison will not suport his anti-modernity philosophy. This will be my first contact with Cornyn however, so we'll see if he is any different than Phill Gramm.”

“That's why I've not bothered before, but it will be good to have it in writing that he refuses to represent me so I can refuse to vote for him with a clear conscience.”
