Zach is a great neo-con and party soldier. He talks of conservative values while voting for more government intervention, spending and corporatism.

Pursuant to Senate policy, newsletters, petitions, opinion polls and issue alerts and other electronic communications cannot be initiated by this office for the 60 day period immediately before the date of a primary or general election. So does this mean Congress can't solicit constituent response nor provide upcoming vote alerts and therefore no representation due to the Incumbent Protection Act? Absurd!
