I got myself on Adam Schiff's mailing list. He sends emails with questionnaires, asking how I want him to vote on things. It takes about a second so I fill them out. Then I can see results on how other constituents responded (am I in the minority? the majority?). In the follow-up, he tells me how he voted.
I like the guy. He's accountable. And he usually votes the way I tell him to, so what's not to like?
In the radio interview, Representative Schiff said he's been working for years to get this bill passed. It'll be another two or three years before the study's finished, then it'll take more time before any of the lands studied will actually be added to the National Recreation Area. But he's willing to persist.
Thanks, Mr. Schiff. You keep it up and I'll keep voting for you. Heck, maybe I'll vote for you twice next time, just for good measure.

Petrea-that's called a "Chicago Style" election:
Vote Early and Often!
Wonderful to have a Rep who listens to you. I wouldnt know what thats like.
Ha! Diva, I remember it well. I mean--not that I did that or anything.
Jim, I'll tell you what it's like. It's weird. This whole town is weird. At City Hall, people answer their phones. They're nice. They return calls. It's spooky.
Nice shot, dude! Love those silvery greys. Where is this, anyways?
Thanks, Bernie. I took this one along the shady trails north of the Jet Propulsion lab in early spring, when there was a lot of water running.
Yes, Adam's a great guy. We were bummed when the districting changed and La Canada got Dreier instead.
I didn't know that. I found the district map on Schiff's page and sure enough, they cut you guys right out!
