[ExI] ai politicians

[William Flynn Wallace]

They are only interested in money from their constituents.  So you could
write a letter requesting reasons why you should donate some of your
lottery winnings (that will get their attention - you have big bucks) to
the representative.  OK, so you are lying. They probably tell more lies in
a day than you do in three months.  If might be fun!   bill w
