Senator Scott Brown and Don't Ask, Don't Tell

I called Senator Brown's office in Washington, D.C., yesterday afternoon to urge him to vote to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell, that ridiculous law that affects everyone in the armed services in the United States.  Senator Brown has made comments, on the record, indicating that he will vote to repeal the law, which I reminded his staffer who answered my call.  She told me she was aware of Brown's comments and would pass my message along.  I told her I am a constituent of Brown's, that I vote in Massachusetts' fifth district (though, voter fraud alert, I live in the eighth district), and that I REALLY HOPE he will represent us, the people who sent him to Congress (though I didn't vote for him, he's still my senator) when this vote comes to the floor.  She was silent.  I asked her which district she voted in, and she told me she's not from Massachusetts.  Why is Scott Brown hiring people from out-of-state to answer his senate office phone?  I doubt she analyzes legislation for him, she ANSWERS THE PHONE, so why can't that job go to one of the many smart and skilled and unemployed folks in Massachusetts?  Maybe he couldn't find a Republican with a sweet phone voice here, or maybe she's a friend of one of those daughters of his he's always trying to pimp out.  Senator Brown, are you willing to go on the record about this?
