If your senators are from both parties, do you contribute to each of them?
A recent question gave me pause to reflect on this.
In my state, there is one Republican Senator, and one Democrat Senator. I have met them both, and both are reasonable guys who, in their own way, do their best for their constituents.
I contribute (not much of course) to each of their campaigns, as well as my district Rep.
I do this, because if you are contributor, they will probably read your mail or email. And it makes it easier on those rare occasions when I get to actually talk to them.
My girlfriend (who was not born in the US but is a now a citizen) thinks that is crazy. She, maybe because she grew up in a repressive Middle Eastern country, regards the opposition party as the “enemy”.
Which I think is crazy.
But still. Maybe I should just choose one or the other?
