   AFAIK you have to get a certain number of signatures to get your name on a   
   ballot. That shouldn't cost anything, but I don't know what the exact   
   procedure is for collecting the signatures; I assume there's a special form to   
   use and it seems like the names in the signatures would have to be verifiable   
   somehow. I'm in no position to ask those questions to the elitist who runs the   
   Republican Committee, but I will encourage other to do so.

   I'm hoping that Trump puts his foot up a lot of butts in New York. I emailed   
   Linda McMahon's office about the DEI still in place in my school district. I   
   ended the email with "The left thrives on other peoples' money, so please take   
   it away from them."

   Yea I'm in love with 1980s - 1990s New York. When we lived in New Mexico I   
   kept telling my wife how much "better things are in New York" but by the time   
   we moved here the state made a liar out of me.   
      
    RL>  AT> You already know this but let me re-enforce: Don't write to him/her,

    RL> Yup.  He'll be doing some stumping soon because he's up for reelection   
    RL> next year.  I'll be pulling his voting record and publically asking him   
    RL> why he's a RINO.   
      
   Joe's rep is a rino? That sucks! I thought everyone in Florida was cool. I   
   like Byron and Myra.   
      
    RL>  AT> Do: visit their office, heckle them at public events, because putting   
    RL>  AT> them on the spot makes them uncomfortable, and they need to learn wha   
    RL>  AT> it's like to feel uncomfortable.   
    RL>    
    RL> Channelling Crazy Maxine Waters?  :)   
      
   I wouldn't harass them "while they're eating dinner with their families" like   
   Maxine calls for, but I look forward to opportunities to call them out at   
   public events.
