Update on Congressman Tom Davis
Three cheers for Tom Davis. He has taken a break from prosecuting cheating baseball players and is on the case. Because of his eagerness to help, I'm convinced that his previous dismissal of 'File the necessary paperwork and good luck,' was a case of him having too much faith in the system. And I can't fault him for that. He's supposed to have faith in the system. The good news is that he's helping. Let's just hope it isn't too late.
My mom is making tons of calls while I'm all over the emails. We're approaching the following people:
Senator Jim Webb: Unable to reach a human in his offices thus far.
Senator John Warner: Nothing yet.
Senator Hillary Clinton: Nothing yet. Dealing with in-state offices first. She has a great record on issues like this.
Senator Joe Biden: Same as Clinton. He's also the most outspoken member of the Senate on China. Very passionate. If our VA reps fail us, he may be the guy.
Congressman Tom Davis: On the case.
Virginia Governor Tim Kaine: Dong's governor in VA. I don't know his record on such things, but it can't help to contact him.
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson: No one has been more outspoken about Chinese human rights abuses and immigration reform than Bill Richardson. In a presidential debate he went so far as to say that we should boycott the Olympics in Beijing. Not a sexy debate issue, which means he truly cares. If I could pick one person who I thought could definitely fix this, it would be Bill Richardson.
If anyone has any contacts in these offices, they would be greatly appreciated. We have the main numbers and are working from there. But if you know a legislative assistant, a chief-of-staff, anything, we would appreciate it.

Good to see Tommy Boy do something honorable with his remaining time left in Congress.
