We feel that is our best hope. <br /><br />If anyone would like to help, please call the Senator's office and ask that she help one of her constituent's, Herman Burnett in St. Louis, keep his canine partner. <br /><br />These are her Washington, ... D.C. numbers...<br /><br />Office of Senator Claire McCaskill<br />United States Senate<br />Hart Senate Office Building, SH-717<br />Washington, D.C. 20510<br /><br />(202) 224-6154<br /><br />Here is the St. Louis, MO numbers...<br />5850 A Delmar Blvd.<br />St. Louis, MO 63112<br /><br />314-367-1364<br /><br />Thanks all!retirejuly.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408930918332796705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236909173387599021.post-40900974063919462972009-11-30T11:33:00.000-08:002009-11-30T11:36:43.733-08:00DisgustedStill hadn't heard back from Senator Claire McCaskill's office after they said someone would call back after a couple days (Herman was told to get a cover letter ready).<br /><br />I searched our Verizon cell logs and got the phone number in Washington D.C. - Herman called back this morning and the guy said he doesn't know if they would be able to do anything. So he had told Herman to get a cover letter ready (which we did) and then he was never going to call back???<br />I am so hurt and disgusted!! Is there no one anymore that has any compassion?? What a cruel thing to do to Herman - give him (us) hope and then he wasn't going to even have the decency of getting back to him!<br /><br />I have gone on the Senator's website and requested a meeting with the Senator - included pictures of Herman with July (not making it so anonymous). (You can request a meeting with her on her website.)<br /><br />I know the Senator Twitters a lot! I don't know much about Twitter, so I don't know if there is a way to get word to her directly there. Anyone know if that's possible?retirejuly.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408930918332796705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236909173387599021.post-50624547599569830452009-11-17T21:59:00.000-08:002009-11-17T22:05:50.962-08:00A few pictures while we wait...Cover letter is written, just awaiting call back from Senator McCaskill's office...<br /><br /><div align="justify"><u><span style="color:#0066cc;"></span></u></div><div align="center"><u><span style="color:#0066cc;"></span></u></div><div align="center"><u><span style="color:#0066cc;"></span></u><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiwGLObweLpsA6uAO0iXAtItEJTKC-CS7TKzKZkmbapNu06KezlPjeM107oqgqfWyNhF4j9cFS975D3F3OmFgiUe9pcVH40KuvKbdYWZVZ_F4IjbVE6kcp2R43GzwUoVGplq94GOYG1uw/s1600/july+%26+peanut.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405319685235755794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 189px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiwGLObweLpsA6uAO0iXAtItEJTKC-CS7TKzKZkmbapNu06KezlPjeM107oqgqfWyNhF4j9cFS975D3F3OmFgiUe9pcVH40KuvKbdYWZVZ_F4IjbVE6kcp2R43GzwUoVGplq94GOYG1uw/s400/july+%26+peanut.jpg" border="0" /></a> July and Peanut chillin</div><div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBTQL5ZvXIgrairwTbiQ61YvFhN4aamJV4yURKsFgE9vp4Ft620GYoKa5NJaQqw6edvkr9p1D0iVEwH0z7wnlSreoft-_mj4sYQVYj9QEK5Tx4MX72Lom8M1SvMF7vobygCVD8fBwvqcM/s1600/101_0232.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405319551194525170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 197px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBTQL5ZvXIgrairwTbiQ61YvFhN4aamJV4yURKsFgE9vp4Ft620GYoKa5NJaQqw6edvkr9p1D0iVEwH0z7wnlSreoft-_mj4sYQVYj9QEK5Tx4MX72Lom8M1SvMF7vobygCVD8fBwvqcM/s400/101_0232.jpg" border="0" /></a> July sleeping with her piggy friend<br /><br /><div></div></div>retirejuly.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17408930918332796705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6236909173387599021.post-91224442493334750272009-11-16T18:41:00.000-08:002009-11-16T18:54:56.554-08:00Senator McCaskill's Office Called!<div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfe51JhDLl5Yr105nsf42lt-Zudf_i89wSffS9lRftb2tnVylQ7X-fe4GMqMgajRtRCp_s5hgcng7zbi0KijmbH20fGlGy0V1Y11imQ1-hlSBUByGPy0LQHJhInP_nyeKqg8OfKobnAZo/s1600/plane.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404899931877838642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 231px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfe51JhDLl5Yr105nsf42lt-Zudf_i89wSffS9lRftb2tnVylQ7X-fe4GMqMgajRtRCp_s5hgcng7zbi0KijmbH20fGlGy0V1Y11imQ1-hlSBUByGPy0LQHJhInP_nyeKqg8OfKobnAZo/s400/plane.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />I sent off Herman's emails around 7:20am this morning to Senator McCaskill and Congressman Carnahan's staff members.
