Being the recipient of a flood of e-mails from Republican party apparatchiks, I decided I wanted to contact Reince Priebus (sp?) directly to explain to him why I am unhappy with the party's attitude and apparent platform. So I went to the web site for the Republican National Committee. They do have a web site. They do offer a way to send them money. Do they offer any way to send them comments? Heck, no. No e-mail for Reince. No general e-mail address. No "Contact Us" button. Nothing.
Today I read another article about how Paul Ryan isn't interested in being President. I wanted to contact Mr. Ryan. His standard House web site won't accept comments from people outside of his congressional district. That's unusual in my experience, but perhaps valid. He has a separate web site and Contact Me" link as the Speaker, so I went there. And ...
The "Contact Me" site just happens to not be working.
So the evidence suggests (to me, anyway) that the Republican Party, which claims to be so interested in reclaiming its position as representing the American people, isn't really interested at all in hearing anything the American people might have to say. Sure the Rs want to represent what the People think -- and they'll tell us what to think so they can represent us more effectively.
My conviction to hold my nose and vote for any R against Hillary is disappearing faster by the day.
