The Days Of DeWine And Roses

Stop the presses!Senator Mike DeWine has answer- ed my letter.

For those of you that read my blog,you know that I have been somewhat impatiently waiting for Senator DeWine to personally reply to an email letter that I sent to him[read this,and this and even this] on Monday,September,18.

On Wednesday,September,27,I got this generic form letter reply:Dear Friend,Thank you for visiting my website and sending me your message. It's great to hear from you! I will do my best to send a more detailed follow-up email soon with a more specific response to your inquiry.Very respectfully yours,Mike DeWine United States Senator.

And I have been waiting ever since for his more detailed reply.

My letter concerned this 'on line' news report[click here for the report].This is what I wrote to Senator Mike DeWine:

Dear,Sir,My name is Andrew[ ].I am a lifetime Democrat,but I am trying to keep an open mind.The war in Iraq is very troubling to me.It seems to have put us in quite a jam,but I think I see our need of having a military presence over there.I have just read this article: http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=LEO20050805&articleId=806 ,and Sir,if this article is anywhere near true,then Halliburton's actions seem like they are on the brink of treason to The United States of America.Isn't trying to keep nuclear weapons away from Iran one of our President's major goals?Of course,this article maybe totally wrong.I have not seen anything else about this in the major press outlets.But,if this is true,what course of action do you think I,as an average American, should take concerning it?Mr.Senator,any advice you could give me would be helpful.I thank you,in advance.God Bless America and the great state of Ohio, Andrew [ ]

After fretting and worrying that my Junior Senator from Ohio wasn't going to answer me until after the election,I got this reply via email today(November 2):

November 1, 2006
Dear Andrew:
Thank you for contacting me regarding U.S. foreign policy toward Iran. I
appreciate knowing your views on this issue and I also desire a diplomatic
resolution to the current situation.
The United Nations Security Council Resolution 1696 demanded that Iran
suspend all nuclear enrichment-related activities, and requested that the
International Atomic Energy Agency submit a report by August 31 on
"whether Iran has established full and sustained suspension of all such
activities." In that Resolution, the Council expressed its intention to
adopt sanctions if Iran has not complied with this resolution. In the
report the IAEA submitted to the Security Council on August 31, they
concluded that "Iran has not suspended its enrichment related activities,"
and that the Agency is unable to confirm the peaceful nature of Iran's
nuclear program.
Secretary Rice will be traveling to London on October 6, 2006 to meet with
her counterparts from Britain, France, Russia, and China (the four
permanent members of the Security Council) and Germany. They are meeting
to decide what punitive measures will be included in the Security Council
Resolution on Iran and its nuclear program. Because Iran continues to defy
the international community and continue with its uranium enrichment
program, I hope Secretary Rice will be successful in convincing her
counterparts that stiff sanctions are needed. A diplomatic solution to
this volatile situation would be best for all nations involved.
Again, thank you for contacting me. If you have any additional concerns,
please feel free to contact me anytime.
Very respectfully yours,
MIKE DeWINE
United States Senator

First off,I want to thank Mike DeWine for answering my letter:Thank You Senator.Your quick reply means allot to me.

However...it does not answer my question.It does not even approach answering my question.Today is November 2,2006.In your letter to me you mention that Ms.Rice will be traveling to London to decide what punitive measures will be taken against Iran on October 6,2006! Sir,I am no good at politics.Am I supposed to read in-between-the lines,here?Are you trying to tell me that the supposed Halliburton/Iranian Uranium issue was going to be addressed then...or were you just skirting the issue?Because it sounds an awful like you are just trying to skirt the issue,to me.

If fact,your reply,Sir,reads like you didn't even feel the need to address the issue I brought to your attention at all.If I am supposed to read in-between-the lines...is this your way of telling me not to vote for you?

Does anyone else have any ideas on this?It is beyond me,and I can use all the help I can get to figure this out.
