I apologize, I have been very lax on updating this blog. I've been caught up on trying to contact these guys on Twitter. I don't know how effective it is but it's pretty cathartic to feel like you can talk directly to these people.

But..... Again.  Phone calls are great.  Congressional Switchboard is 202-224-3121.  E-mails are great.   Paper letters take time and these things seem to be urgent so I am cutting back on them and trying to get directly to these guys as much as possible.   I don't know how effective I am

The good news is my Sister and Dad have been writing beautiful letters to Senator Hatch in Utah.

This particular letter I copied almost word for word from my Sister's letter to Senator Hatch but replaced Hatch with Heller (Dean Heller)

Nevada is beautiful too. (In it's own way) So I felt this letter was great as it was, just needed to change names.

Scott Pruitt's vote is tomorrow morning. E-mail your Senator. Call them. Do something

Dear Senator Heller

I am a resident of the great state of Nevada and I believe it to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. I'm sure you would agree. That said, I'm writing to you today to ask that you protect our lands and environment. You have been elected to represent this great state and we need your leadership.

I realize that there is a 1 in billion chance you will break with party lines on this, but I want you to know that I am making note of how you vote on Scott Pruitt.

Scott Pruitt has spent his career fighting against clean air, climate, and water regulations. He has sued the EPA more than a dozen times. He has collected millions in political donations from the very industries he will be tasked with regulating. He’s called climate science a “religious belief,” and his official biography even boasts that he’s “a leading advocate against the EPA’s activist agenda.”

Why is the current administration (including yourself) so determined to recruit people who seem to despise the organizations they will be leading?

Please consider taking a stand on this nomination. Or just anything.

We need strong leadership from you.

Thank you
-Mike Jones
