    Living in Vermont, I am proud of all our representatives in the House and the Senate. It was great to hear of another fine politician – Michael Capuano, speak the plain truth. His positions seem to be clear and honest. All you “flat landers” deserve to be proud of him. It was very refreshing listening to him speak.
    Thank you.

    I heard this broadcast while driving in my car and wanted to hear it again. How refreshing to hear a reasonable and intelligent voice of common sense. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. I live in Michigan.

    Robin, you do such a great job and Mike Capuano, you do, too! Thank you to both of you :)
