On Monday, I wrote to the NYC Roots Project contact person from Chuck Schumer's office. I was trying to contribute to Josh Marshall's Net Neutrality Tally. Contact person, Sam Schaeffer, didn't write back. So I called the Washington, DC office.

I was told he has no position, but that he is tallying responses from callers interested in the issue, and could she please have my mailing address.

It's now Friday, and Chuck still hasn't made up his mind whether the public interests or the telecom oligarchy is foremost in his mind. Do let him know that we care about this issue.

And watch this space. We'll be documenting Schumer's antics in the Beltway bubble.
