Doswell blogger Dale Brumfield recently voiced thoughtful concerns over the health care bill moving through the US senate to Senator Jim Webb. In the spirit of Christmas, Senator Webb responded, in the warmest, most personal terms possible:
"Thank you for your recent electronic mail message to my office in Washington. I am pleased that because of the Internet, more than 100,000 Virginians will send their ideas directly to me this year.
Please be assured that your views are very helpful to me and my staff. As the Senate addresses crucial economic, domestic and foreign policy issues facing our nation, we will be sure to keep your comments and ideas in mind.
I encourage you to visit my website at http://webb.senate.gov for regular updates about my activities and positions on matters that are important to Virginia and our nation.
