I am not a fan of Jon Kyl, especially after his work on the internet gambling ban, but when I wrote our Senate candidates I eventually got a response from his office. Frankly it was a rather typical one from a Congressional office and I know as I spent sometime writing those same letters. I am not satisfied with the response but I got my answer.

On the other side there is Jim Pederson's campaign who while he daily in his ads saying he wants to be "our senator" but I have not gotten a reply to my questions. I would think someone who would want to represent us would answer his constituent's questions.

So my early ballot arrived yesterday and now I have to decide who to vote for. I know it won't be someone who claims they will be my Senator but doesn't do the leg work. While I don't care for Kyl at least I got an answer. In the end it will probably just be my usual Libertarian, none of the above.

PS - I emailed the offices not once but twice.

PPS- If I can get a computer working at home I'll scan the reponse I got from Kyl, but for the moment, retyping a 2 page letter during my work day seems unpractical.
