I just sent my probably pointless fax/email or whatever it is to Senator Warner from the Howard Dean "put on a pot of coffee" call to action. I hated the boilerplate provided. As much as I know no one will ever read my missive, and sending it pretty much only amounts to a vote, I still hate political marketingese. Representative democracy seems such a farce when my representative has pretty much never voted the way I would and there is pretty much nothing I can do about it.

Here's the way I phrased the letter. I write this diary so that it'll be saved someplace.
