As constituents of Senator Clinton, we discovered how difficult it was to get a meeting with her or anyone from the Senator's office. Perhaps if we were lobbyists, we would have had a bit less trouble. Who knows?
We made this attempt on April 21, 2006.
Once this video appeared on the Crooks and Liars site, we got our meeting. Is that what it takes to get her staff to pay attention to us little folks? Would things be different if Hillary became president? Or can I step out on a limb here and conclude that if a presidential candidate gets loads of campaign money from Lobbyists, it will be the Lobbyists who will have access to that candidate should they become president, not us little citizens.
Just asking...
UPDATE - The video isn't playing for some folks so here's what happened: We faxed and called in a request for a meeting with Senator Clinton or a staff member. We were happy to meet with anyone in her NY office, but we were told we would have to travel to D.C. Nevertheless, they would gladly accept documents from us, but we'd have to leave them with the guard.
