My thanks to Martha McSally, Arizona's Republican junior US Senator.
Last evening, on the 100th anniversary of Congress approving the language which became the 19th Amendment, McSally held a telephone town hall.
Unlike Congressman David Schweikert, she actually followed through for the event. Schweikert, last month, unfortunately did not allow this constituent -- even though I opted in -- to participate in his. And when I inquired about listening to a recording thereof, never heard back from David's staff.
Martha talked fast and talked most of the hour. For the first 25 minutes or so, Lindsey Graham joined her.
The most talked about item was immigration. Graham and McSally have legislation pending to stem the tide of asylum seekers coming to the US.
I was able to ask Martha to reflect on the 19th Amendment.
Anyway, it was interesting in a morbid sort of way to listen to the mostly bitter callers denounce immigrants. As for Martha, she sounded like a politician speaking around most issues. However, she and Graham do have pending legislation for which they hope to get Democratic buy-in to stem the tide of asylum seeking families from Mexico and points south thereof.
Nevertheless, I thank Martha for allowing me to participate.
