Dear Senator Clinton, Sorry I can’t contribute more
Dear Senator Clinton,

Sorry I can’t contribute more to your campaign, but times are rough. Several years ago I was making fifty thousand plus dollars a year. Now (thanks to the Bush Economic Disaster) I’m making a lousy eleven dollars an hour working for a cheap labor con and doing the same kind of work. I have watched my health insurance costs go through the roof and my hourly wage and benefits dropping. Employers use to offer pension plans, but that’s a thing of the past. Instead they replaced it with the wonderful 401K plans. Trust me. It’s pretty damn hard to contribute to a 401K plan making only eleven dollars an hour. I have sat and watched my investments dwindle and spin in muck for the past five years. Now the cheap labor cons in Washington want to do away with social security. Could it be that the cheap labor cons are salivating over the prospect of millions and millions of desperate baby boomers willing to work as cheap labor? Whatever progress the working class has gained over the past one hundred years is going down the toilet. Its past time for the democratic party to stand up and fight for the working class!!!

This endless oil war in Iraq has gone on far enough! We have lost one thousand fifteen hundred and fifty-three soldiers in Iraq for what? At first we were told it was because Saddam was a threat to America with his weapons of mass destruction. First few days of the war I knew that Iraq didn’t have weapons of mass destruction. What is the reason for having WMD’s in the first place, if you’re not going to use them against an invading army? That should have been a wake up call to the wilfully ignorant, but no politicians chose to believe even a more ridiculous lie when the filthy Bush administration said that Saddam must have moved them. Why would, he had moved them? Was he saving them for a rainy day? All I ask is that the democrats in Washington use some common sense when dealing with Bush. Now the democrats are saying that we can’t pull out of Iraq. We made this mess and now we have to clean it up. I ask you to please use some freakin’ common sense! Look at this mess in Iraq from a common man points of view. Let’s say that my neighbor and I don’t get along. I throw a bottle of orange juice through his window and climb in after it. I tell him that I’m going in to clean it up, but I go to his fridge and drink all his beer. I then force his wife take off all her clothes and make her pose in different positions while taking pictures of her. I shoot all his children, and then get to work cleaning out his wallet. He tells you to get the hell out, and I say, I can't leave yet, I haven't cleaned up the orange juice yet, while I proceed to punch him in the face. Get the idea???

I’m sick and tired of democrats voting in favor of Bush’s nominees. I’m watching this Bolton nomination just to see how many democrats will bend over. I’m also appalled how many democrats voted for that bankruptcy bill. What the hell were they thinking about?

I know I don’t have the influence that a powerful lobbyist might have, but anyway here is my lousy ten bucks that I pledged for your campaign over the telephone. I know it’s not much, but it’s all I can afford.
