Barbara Boxer Responds to a Constituent (Kinda Sorta)

December 5, 2009


A bottle washes up on a California beach and is found by a beachcomber. Inside is a note that reads:

"June 15, 2005

To: Senator Barbara Boxer

Dear Senator Boxer,

Help! Am stranded on a deserted Pacific island. Only you are my last hope. Please send help immediately.

Yours,


Robinson Crusoe IV."
