AKIN: I’m in a three-way primary for the US Senate. I’ve gone to people and asked for their support, their help, or their endorsement, and some people say yes. They write me a decent check. I remember that. The people that I thought were friends that tell me to go away because they are supporting someone else, I remember that. You know, I can remember back to 12 years ago. You remember who’s helping you. That’s one way that people get to know congressmen and senators.

Money talks. And to Todd Akin, money is the root of all effective communication.
Want to explain your position on pregnancy and rape to Rep. Akin? Send money.
Want to explain your health care issues with pre-existing conditions? Send money.
Want to ask for government action to create jobs? Send money.
Now, Todd Akin being a Republican, he won't actually LISTEN if you're trying to tell him something he doesn't want to hear. But he'll hear you enough to blort out some sort of non-sequiter that makes sense in his addled pate.
