I DID call his office today, and got the run around (as expected). Did tax dollars pay for the robocalls? Perhaps the State Auditor should investigate. I could not have stated it better.

We would be on the Moon by now if it was not for NASA's bureaucracy. By reforming NASA by stopping the waste and using the money properly and working with the private sector by using competition with the winners getting huge cash prizes, we can achieve our goals. Newt has brought up how the airplane industry really benefited from such prizes. Also, it is not simply a gimmick, this strategy could also enable a new commercial space-plane industry and fundamentally enhance U.S. national security.
