Grassroots, Part Three
Two weeks ago, I made this post, and I followed up with this post last week.
My other senator, Ken Salazar, just got in touch with me via email a few days ago and sent the following:
Thank you for contacting me with your concerns about Section 220, a
provision included in the Senate lobbying and ethics reform bill that
would require organizations to disclose their expenditures on grass roots
lobbying efforts. An amendment was introduced on the floor to strike this
section from the bill altogether. I supported this amendment, and it was
accepted, 55-43.Thank you again for writing.
Sincerely,
Ken Salazar
United States Senator
I’m especially happy with our government now. I’m still not sure that my individual voice made a difference, but perhaps my voice, along with multitudes of others, made a difference. Had I remained silent, would my Senators voted the way that they did? I’m not sure, but I like to think that I had a little influence.
