Last October, back when I was still at Xanga, I blogged about National Iranian Television. I wrote my reps in Congress and urged others to do the same, asking for some money to be spent to support them.

Well, five months later, one of my Senators, Kay Bailey Hutchison, answered my letter:

Dear Mr. James,

Thank you for contacting me regarding National Iranian Television. I welcome your thoughts and comments on this issue.

I am glad to know of your support for the vital voice of democracy and American values both at home and abroad, especially during these troubling times. Now, more than ever, it is important for the Unted States to express our message to those whom we have not been able to reach in the past.

Be assured I will keep your suggestions in mind regarding funding for National Iranian Television as the Senate votes on foreign operations appropriations.

I appreciate hearing from you and hope you will not hesitate to keep in touch on any issue of concern to you.

Sincerely,
Kay Bailey Hutchison
