Zzz...Chris Dodd to March in New Hampshire on Labor Day

Connecticut's Sen. Chris Dodd, who is campaigning for the Democrat presidential nomination (yes, still), will be spending Labor Day marching in a parade in New Hampshire and having a tasty BBQ afterward. Below is the text of an e-mail I received:

Dear Pam,

On Labor Day, September 3rd, we are going to New Hampshire to join Senator Chris Dodd in the Milford, NH Labor Day parade. This is going to be an important day to rally support for Chris Dodd in New Hampshire, and it will mean a great deal to the Senator to have enthusiastic, energetic, and committed volunteers from his home state showing their support and picthing in to help him win in New Hampshire.

After a great day of showing New Hampshire the energy and excitement behind Senator Dodd's campaign we will join the New Hampshire for Dodd staff for a BBQ before heading back to Connecticut. We will arrive back to Connecticut by 8:00pm.

We will be leaving North Haven from the commuter lot off route 40 Devine Street at 7:30am. Exit 10 off I-91 North. Take a left off the exit and the lot of on your left.

You know what I'd like? I'd like for Chris Dodd to actually do the job he pledged to do the last time he ran for re-election as one of Connecticut's senators. I'm sick and tired of hearing about how he's running around the country, running for president when he hasn't a snowball's chance in Hades, instead of doing what he's paid for.

And another thing: how about campaigning for prez right here at home? He's not my choice, but it seems rather insulting that he ignores his own state. Yes I know that it's necessary to woo certain states prior to the first primaries, but geez! Throw us a teeny little bone, would ya?

It's not just Dodd. All those senators, etc., who continue to hold their office while running for president really cheese me off. "We the People" pay them to legislate, but they're too busy campaigning for higher office to do so. And we wonder why nothing of substance gets done in Congress!

I think a rule should be in place that stipulates the following: anyone holding public office who wants to run for a different office should have to resign the current office. This is especially true now, since it looks like these early presidential election cycles are here to stay.
