3. Really now....
He is my Congressman.....

And I have his home phone number...

I'm not special, I just use to be the treasurer of the county party and I had access to all that kind of stuff...

BTW, he is a great guy....

I have told this story before but here goes again....

We were both running for office at the same time, he to try and get back the congressional seat for the Dem's and me to try and unseat a GOP stalwart in the State Senate....

Well, he won, of course and I got spanked....

The day after the election, a mutual friend of ours was diagnosed with terminal cancer... He was a special kind of guy... He helped both Dennis and Me on our campaigns...

That night, Dennis and I sat with him for three hours and talked, trying to take his mind off of his future while Dennis kept shoving his joy and winning his seat and getting back into big time politics into the background...

When we left, we hugged and cried cause we knew we were going to loose a good man....
