Hubby and I got a congratulatory card from our local member after the birth of our last baby. Neither of us filled out a form or notified her office so we don't know how she knew we had had a baby. It seemed a bit weird at the time. Just like "sucking up" to the constituents...

Is it happenning at any other hospitals? I really dont think it is my job to do this for him or any other politician .What do others think??
