Don't kid yourself, though, it's also about getting re-elected

VT BUZZ Terri Hallenbeck June 20, 2007: Postal Flashback
It was like a flashback to the fall, when we were getting fliers from political candidates every day, sometimes five in a day.

There in the mail yesterday was one from Peter Welch, our just-elected congressman. It looked a lot like the campaign fliers. Pastoral picture on the cover. "Working for Vermont," it says. Open it up and there he is in jeans and checked shirt, talking to a farmer.

This time Welch says he wants to hear from constituents about the issues that matter to them. There's a card you can tear off, fill out and send in ranking your issues. It's about constituent services, which are after all the number one purpose of a member of Congress.

Read the rest of "Postal Flashback"... (The comments are a hoot.)
