Today Rep. Jim Nussle -- potentially the future governor of Iowa -- was
reported as proposing that all gasoline sold in Iowa be required to
contain 20% ethanol additive. Presumably, this legislation, if passed,
would make the sale of regular unleaded gasoline illegal in Iowa.

I agree with you Jay.

His website states:
"Due to the large volume of messages I receive daily from every state and
across the world, I am only able to accept email from Iowans at the current
time. If you live outside of Iowa or if you need to contact me using another
communication method."

Being only 10 miles from Iowa, he doesn't want to hear from me via E-mail.
I'll send off a snail-mail. I forwarded your message to my Iowa friends.

That seems to be standard. They ask for a zip code and then decide if you are
worth listening to, even if the blather they were spewing affects people
(or inflicts on people) far from their legislative district.

Put in your real address but pick a ZIP code in his district. That trick
worked for me, and when the congresscritter tried to mail me a letter (that
showed that he didn't actually read what I had written), it got delivered
to me despite having a gross mismatch between the city and the ZIP.

yours,
Michael
