We have been getting lots of e-mail about the site, most of it - about 90% - positive. On occasion, someone sends us something that is crafty and maybe not so "on the up and up." We call this "Minion mail" and here is one we received today from Mr. Michael Ellison:

Mr. Ellsion claims to be a disabled veteran. If he is, may God Bless you and I thank you for your sacrifice and service to our country. If you are not, then you are the lowest of the low.
We thought you were a volunteer photographer for Rev. Jim and a former cinematographer who has done an outstanding display of work at the Hospice of Savannah gallery.
So, if Mr. Ellison is not a disabled veteran, it would be a new low for Rev. Jim to use one of his MINIONS to make such a claim to further his campaign. If you are a disabled vet, Mr. Ellison, then I apologize.


Here is his letter:
"The heading of your blog states your blog is for people who support Jack Kingston. I don't understand why you do not want to hear from everyone who is a voter. Furthermore your heading says all of what Jack Kingston has done for us. Could you please give me a comprehensive list of exactly what Jack Kingston has done for me as a voter in the first Congressional District. Also, this website is listed as Veterans for Kingston, as a Disabled Veteran I would like to know the bills Kingston has written and supported that would help me as a disabled veteran."

Our response:
1. Michael, you and anyone else are welcome to post comments. We do moderate to prevent inappropriate language and unattributed garbage.

2. Since we are not a part of Jack Kingston's campaign (nor do I know if he has ever seen this blog) we do not have access to a ready-made list. To compile a list of all Jack has done over the past 14 years would be a tremendous undertaking (Funding for the bridge and harbor in Brunswick, expansion of the Savannah port, agriculture programs in nearly every county, civil rights museums in Savannah, Atlanta and Macon, protecting 5 military bases from BRAC and expanding missions at each one).

3. This also goes for what he has done for veterans and disabled vets as well (The first thing that comes to mind is his leadership, including a letter to the president, in doing away with concurrent receipt!) However, if you will e-mail me your home address, I will be glad to spend a few days comiling a list for you.
