it's all so clear now

The piece I was too sleepy to figure out last night turned out to have an 11/8 A section, and 3/8 B and B' sections. OF COURSE IT WAS SO OBVIOUS (...to kathrynt anyway...)

I'm gonna need a new music icon next week. Damn.

torture states love ignoring you

I've been sending variations on this letter - different every time, of course - to my DC "representatives" every day or two for a couple of weeks now.

Dear {Senator|Representative} [foo] -

I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving holiday. Now that you're back: what plans did you make while back here in Washington to confront the Bush and Cheney administration over their torture regime? It is a continuous source of disgust and deeply personal anger that the United States federal government is engaging in the same wretched practices I wrote against as an Amnesty International Freedom Writer, and I'm very much interested in your plans to stop it. Immediately.

I look forward to a paper-mail response.


Sincerely,


solarbird

No reply yet. Some of you might try it too. But you have to do it over and over again - at least, that's my hypothesis. I know outright that they'll ignore just one.

If you're local, here's Maria Cantwell's message webform, here's Patty Murray's message webform, and here's Jay Inslee's. I give obviously fake email addresses ("nothanks@nowhere.net") because I don't really want their email bullshit, but give real phone number and paper address information so they can reply, if they want to.
