Allred is a nice guy and all, but he has been completely unresponsive to issues he promised me he would tackle while in the House. Fair enough, I was just one constituent while he was my Congressman, and no rep is obligated to respond to the needs of one peasant constituent. However, this peasant reserves the right to return the favor if another candidate for Senate shows up that inspires me more.
