Republicans can introduce whatever bills they want, but they can't put them on the agenda. I don't think jumping everytime they say "boo!" is healthy.

After sending them I received messages back that said I had to submit messages to them via their page on the senate website (senate.gov) due to the high volume of spam mail that they have coming directly to the their e-mails. After copying and pasting into the contact forms on their pages I received the standard "thank-you for your concerns" e-mail from one, but I actually got a decent response from the other; as if a staffer had actually read it and thought enough about it to offer a decent response. I guess it's really just hit or miss when it comes to contacting them.
