Thank you so much for taking a stand against insidious policy making in the Senate and for your courage and willingness to lead...and to set an example for other Democrats in the Senate and the House. I'm proud of you for recognizing the flaws in the Patriot Act. To me you are a national treasure and a hero. And I loved your daughter's documentary, "Travels With George"!   Sincerely, Don Conoscenti / Chicago IL   12-19-05
