Janet, we can't count noses, but there are a lot of US citizens on this list. Just say a lot. I tell you politicians love to talk, not that you can precisely understand what they are saying, but my senator knows I vote, write and call etc. If she doesn't , she should. I hope ( on the committee LHHS&E ) surely she can catch on after all of that. I have a lot of relatives and friends in Texas and she has been inundated with all of the above. I am waiting to see how she votes etc. At least I have tamed her health aide. Why not a presidential candidate.?? The pioneer idea is a good one. We wont' know until we try. You know guess. I bet we are all of voting age.
