13. Well, in that case, maybe Heidi Heitkamp will take my views more seriously!

I live in California. But I donated to numerous campaigns. Never that much to speak of, since I don't have piles of extra money lying around, but certainly enough that I could have used to fill my gas tank more than a few times instead of putting it off and dragging it out longer. I donated to her campaign. I was disgusted when I saw that clip of her on one of the Sunday talk shows recently, blithely dismissing the White House proposals for strengthening gun regulations, saying they were too extreme and wouldn't pass. And so I did not hesitate to call her office on Capitol Hill more than once, and say so. I told the staffer who answered the phone that if the Senator expects to get another contribution from me in the future, she better broaden her views on this issue.
