This was a pretty good story considering the slight supernatural element (psychic communication).  I appreciated the story saying the senator should follow party lines on things as that's (unfortunately) how many votes go these days.  It would be nice if elected officials actually voted on things based on their constituents wishes rather than party lines (or even along their own morality lines if it's that type of issue and they state it as such), but that's a Utopia we'll never see on earth.
