About a dozen. I live in the capital. So it’s a little easier to meet them.

Do you think that’s a typical experience for the average American

Depends how involved you want to be. I’ve met with politicians all my life. That’s their job to listen to you.

I use to see Ike every time he was in Missouri or I was in Washington. He felt it was important to talk to the people he represented.

If your politicians won’t talk to you, you need to make it clear they won’t get your vote.

If you’ve talked to them then why hasn’t the change happened

Well don’t expect a massive change in 30 days. I’ve only started talking to them about the fuel tax recently. Both sides are opposed as it’ll crush the poor.

You’ve been talking to them all your life though. So you must have gotten a lot of progress done yeah? You make it sound like you just heard about hybrids lately.
