When I wrote about money’s corrupting influence over politicians, I failed to link to this recent episode involving the telecoms. http://dangerousintersection.org/?p=1643

If you (or anyone else who is a regular DI) would like a *free* tour of the city, or if you need anything (directions, suggestions on historic sites, emergency medical attention) while you are in town, just holler. Also I have a spare car you can borrow, and even a bike if you prefer (provided that you don’t wear headphones).

A few years ago, I attempted to contact my representative and senators offices concerning fraudulent activities that had directly affected my father-in-laws medical benefits. I was unable to contact my representative, althoug I left the info on his answering machine. The senior senator did not speak directly to me, but his staff were helpful and took down the complaint and sent out forms for details about the problem. The junior senator actually answered the phone. I explained the situation, he got my contact information and told me he would “Check into it”. Two days later I was called to the manager’s office where I was told in no uncertain terms that if I ever bothered the junior senator again, I would be suspended without pay for three months after which time I would be fired, for political activism in the workplace.
