called me regarding an email I had sent to the Georgia governor. I said, "Was this the letter where I called Gov. Deal a traitor?" (I had fired off an email after Gov. Deal signed on to that silly (and apparently very badly translated) Tom Cotton letter to the Iranian government warning them that the U.S. government wouldn't necessarily honor its own agreements.)
No, it wasn't that. It was about net neutrality.
This was about a week ago, maybe a few days more.
She wanted to confirm that I had indeed sent an email explaining to Gov. Deal that many and probably most emails supporting Comcast were, in fact spam, and that the internet should belong to the citizens and not a for-profit corporation.
Giving away public assets for private profit is one of the Republican ideas I hate. And, although I am not much of a hater otherwise, I join a great number of my fellow Americans in hating Comcast. (And by "Comcast" I don't mean their beleaguered employees. I mean their insulated top execs raking off obscene profits, paying a smaller percentage of income taxes than their employees while providing as lean a service as possible for the highest price the market will tolerate, and aiming for a monopoly.)
So I confirmed that I had, indeed sent the email, and went on to elaborate about "the most hated corporation in America."
Any successful politician pays attention to strong emotional reaction from the public. And I think that is what happened here. The basic email was posted on Act Blue, as I remember.
