<p>Well my congressman does not do that…
Mister sinister - how can you possibly make a blanket statement such as that?</p>
<p>There are 435 congressmen and 100 senators - have you surveyed all of the 535 MOC’s? By making assumptions you could be influencing a kid not to see a MOC nominations when already possessing a presidential nomination.</p>
<p>The bottom line is to follow the academies instructions. If a third party prevents you from doing so - ie. your MOC then you should be proactive and notifiy academy admissions.
A candidate should never assume that because he/she already has a presidential nomination that he/she should not bother seeking a Congressional nomination.</p>
