The only responses I got were mostly form letters from Dianne Feinstein and a couple form letters from the Gubernator.<BR/><BR/>No responses from most of the businesses I wrote letters to. No response from the Los Angeles MTA about the proposed Metro plans (not even a form response which I thought was weird.)<BR/><BR/>Sometimes getting responses takes longer for small businesses though so I still have hope that I'll eventually get some more responses.ruchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17043512641324366469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-83265224177016822772008-04-01T10:15:00.000-07:002008-04-01T10:15:00.000-07:00Did you get any responses at all?

I know senators probably don't have time to read every letter that comes to them, but I'd like a letter that at least addresses some of my original points.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068855919147458057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-7458462429231094762008-03-31T19:55:00.000-07:002008-03-31T19:55:00.000-07:00Oops...I forgot to mention that I've tagged you fo...Oops...I forgot to mention that I've tagged you for a meme!Mad Hatterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12848061207872125237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-47802699282220259602008-03-31T19:39:00.000-07:002008-03-31T19:39:00.000-07:00"Corporate lobbies represent the best interests of..."Corporate lobbies represent the best interests of a corporation, not the best interests of people."<BR/><BR/>I completely agree. <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_Friedman" REL="nofollow">Milton Friedman</A> even argued that the only responsibility of a corporation is to <A HREF="http://www.colorado.edu/studentgroups/libertarians/issues/friedman-soc-resp-business.html" REL="nofollow">increase profits</A> for its shareholders.
