Sen. Dole was not only ranked low in effectiveness, she was inattentive to her constituents. I occasionally write my reps on issues. I received responses from every one BUT, Sen. Dole. I wrote on 3 separate occasions, the last one was to say she lost my vote. I voted for her the first time she ran, but wouldn't the second time.

One of the reasons that Liddy Dole was originally elected to the Senate over Boyles was her "experience" in Washington. After a full term in the Senate, imagine our disappointment to find she is ranked 93rd in effectiveness. She has little to show for her service, she's spent hardly any time in NC in the past few years and she has not been the representative the State had hoped for. The last gaff and what I think will seal her fate were the desperation ads she ran against Hagan in the past 10 days. Despite pleas even from those in her own party to pull the ads, she tried to save face defending and reworking them which still paints the same wrong picture of Kay Hagan. When it really mattered, Dole showed questionable character and judgment by not backing off. At the end of the day, Ms. Dole's choices will cost her her seat in the Senate and a decision that will effectively end her public service to the state.

Just wanted folks to realize that the privilege of voting didn't come cheap. Men and Woman of all parties and races signed our voter card with their blood. So no matter what your party is. Look at your vote as a thank you to the ones that gave all so we could enjoy this priviledge. I truly think we have an incredible future in this country with either of the parties. So when you vote take a second and do something to say thank you. If nothing else a nod to the sky, snap a salute at our great flag or even put your hand over your heart and smile. Because folks as bad as we think thing our millions of folks from all over the world would love to be us. So from this street paramedic and proud american thank you.
