Stuck With Lamar Smith
RECEIVED Fri., Feb. 20, 2004
Dear Editor,
The big, fat fact missed in both of your articles about CD 25 is that people like me are stuck with Lamar Smith ["Facing the South," News, Feb. 13, and "The CD 25 Delicatessen," News, Feb. 20]. Does anyone even know who Lamar Smith is? As a Latina, the grand idea of having a Hispanic congresswoman from Texas is not lost on me (just like having a black senator was not lost); too bad we don't always get what we want. However, I should at least get who I voted for (and I foolishly thought that's what Barrientos was "fighting" for)!
