I got this response from Nelson.

Dear Mr. #####:

Thank you for contacting me regarding the issue of military tribunals for illegal combatants captured in the war on terror. As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I have followed closely the evolution of this important issue.

Congress needed to establish a system for trying terrorist suspects, because the President's plan for secret trials could have put our own captured troops at risk. I voted for Senator John McCain's proposal for trying terrorist suspects in military courts and ruling out secret trials. I believe the legislation respects international law and our treaty obligations by preventing abuses during interrogations. I also voted for an amendment to restore habeas corpus rights, but it was narrowly defeated.

I appreciate the opportunity to share my position on this very emotional issue. It is a privilege to serve Florida in the Senate, and I value the views of my constituents. Please do not hesitate to contact me on other issues that are of interest to you.

I can never again, with a clear conscience, vote for this fool.

1. I feel the same way but the only other option is Harris!

Nelson is a real tool and I'm sick to death of him.

4. Yeah, it's a protest vote

Since there is no way Krazy Katie is going to win, and Nelson is better than a Repuke, I suppose. :hurts:

-Cindy in Fort Lauderdale who also didn't vote for Nelson the first time around

5. I'm still waiting for a reply about the habeas corpus

vote. Usually he gets back to me within 3 days. I guess he realizes backtracking isn't going to cut it anymore. He's been playing both sides of the fence. He's lost my vote and crazy kathie might just get it or I'll leave that one blank.

6. I've written Nelson many, many times. He & Marteniz=peas in a pod

What is it with senators with the Nelson surname? They're both big time DINOs.

7. Martinez has never, not once, ever replied to my letters

Not once.

Nelson in Fla isn't great, but he's not a DINO. Not like Nelson in NE.
