What's the Mission? (Or "Down the Rabbit Hole: Telephone Conversations With My Representatives')
On Monday, October 26, my daughter was deployed to Iraq.
On Friday, October 9, I realized that I didn't know what the mission was in Iraq. In an effort to find out, I called my senator, Susan Collins, but they couldn't tell me. I called another of her offices, and then another. When I got no real answer there, I called Senator Olympia Snowe's offices, and then my congressman, Mike Michaud.
It was then that I decided that no one would ever believe some of the responses I was getting, and at that point, I decided to record my odyssey. This podcast is the result of those recordings. Please forgive the frustration in my voice, but by the time we got to this point, frustrated is exactly what I was.
