I had just settled down last night when my phone rang. My first thought was that some telemarketer was going to interrupt my sleep and thought about not answering the phone. But, I answered it anyway READY to lay into anyone disturbing my sleep with some sales pitch. When a man asked if I was who he was calling, I was SURE it was a telemarketer but I did say I was who I was. He then identified himself as Congressman Coble AGAIN!! I was SHOCKED speechless! He thanked me again for the nice email in which I thanked him for voting AGAINST CAFTA and told him how much the people in his district appreciated his COURAGE. I even asked him about his "summer cold" that he had referred to in the message he left the day after the CAFTA vote. The call lasted MAYBE 2 minutes but I just am SO IMPRESSED that this man would take the time to call--not once but twice--just because a constituent wrote a nice email about a vote.

This really does go to show that our representatives DO HEAR US SOMETIMES. There is HOPE. And, this makes me even more determined to continue the battle. If there is ONE representative out there who really CARES about his constituency, surely there are more.

Now, we need to start working on Congressman Coble about the illegal immigration issue.
