Randy Naugebauer (R-TX) has sent via email a couple of short legislative surveys to his constituents. They guaged, in multiple-choice manner, his people's stand on a hot bill in legislation. I believe he has also in the past couple of years sent by snail mail a longer survey but not on one particular bill. This is just one legislator's office sponsorship of a collaboration project with his constituents. David I can tell you by personal experience that my own U.S. Rep.
