You obviously have enough of a following in the country and the state that gives you a voice that is not wise to ignore. You and those you link get a say that has political power. Maybe not huge, but big enough to worry some who try to talk in the same areas. So, I'd say more of a good for you and keep it up.

I am appalled if anyone considers it OK that a Senator blow off a constituent request for information on the Senator's votes and opinions. The Senator is our elected representative, not our feudal overlord. And when the Senator and his staff blow an answer like the one in the post, getting information wrong several times concerning the matter under legislative change, the Senator needs to be so informed, strongly, until he gets at least his understanding of the law corrected to match reality.
