Where have you been for the last eight years. A letter to my two Demo Senators. |
|
In the last eight years Congress has done literally nothing to stop or even to slow down the Bush Crime Family’s rape of America. They have left nothing untouched. I don’t intend to make a complete list because it would be too long for this letter and besides if you wanted to know about it you would have it researched. But I do have to mention the two stolen Presidential elections and the illegal war that is responsible for the total destruction of Iraq and especially the deaths of at least a hundreds of thousand innocent children. I must include torture and rendition that’s puts this country in the company of Nazi German and Stalin’s Russia. Also, included are the many blatant, in your face violations of the Constitution of the United States. And now the total destruction of our economy. The Bush Crime Family is walking away with trillions of dollars of middle class money. Will we be able to recover, I can't see it in my lifetime?
I have thought long and hard about writing this letter. I imagine that I will get a nice form letter from your staff telling me how hard you are working on some issue, minor in the big scheme of things.
I want to know where you have been for the last eight years. While this Bush Crime Family was destroying our way of life, you said NOTHING. As my representative in the Senate you said NOTHING, literally nothing. To me this can only mean one of a couple of things. You don’t care, because after all the Senate represents big money not the common folk, or maybe the hold that crime has on our government is so strong, you know to keep your place. In either case our system of government is badly broken. And it’s not like we can vote you out of office in favor of someone better. I know of only one case where a Senator did not win their primary and that was Traitor-Joe Lieberman. But it turns out he didn’t have to win the primary, the “good ole’ boys club” in the Senate, including Democrats, supported him over LaMont. LaMont must not be in the club.
As you know our founding fathers set up Congress to be the most powerful body in government intended to keep a tight check on the President. In the last eight years you, Congress have relinquished that power to a dictator, or is "unitary executive" more politically correct?
And now Michael Connell is dead, some think murdered to protect the Bush Crime Family.
We must prosecute the Bush Crime Family or we might as well kiss our democracy goodbye.

1. more of these letters need to be sent to our Reps and Senators |
|
these last 8 years should not be just forgotten, too many people have been affected, and the American people have been shown much disrespect, disdain and arrogance by this filthy administration.

Same thing applies to my worthless Senators. If any of them had any self-respect they would resign in shame. Since they won't be doing that, they should all be tried for treason. I'm afraid we've already said good-bye to our democracy. All that really remains is a farce.

3. This could be sent to nearly all the senators. |

Any of them that did try to say something were drowned out by the silence.

4. Even McCain and Vile Kyl? |

Sorry to say it, but I don't even bother writing those two -- not to mention Jeff Flake. Sigh.

Sorry that you are losing your governor.
But please, I have pseudo-nazi Martinez, and the ever flaccid Bill Nelson. Apparently Martinez is retiring because he is tired of being a fascist. He is forced by the party to go against his inner moderate self.:eyes: That is rich!
So McCain is a dim wit and Kyl is a moron. Oh wait, maybe I got them mixed up.
Back atcha! :loveya:

Don't be surprised if your form letter response includes a postage paid envelope to make it more convenient for you to send money to your Senators.

8. I am as hopeful as the next guy but don't hold your breath. |

These people all protect each other and sadly, I don't think anything will happen to any of them. I hope I'm wrong....

16. Letters like this accomplish nothing.......... |
|
writing and sending letters like that is futile, I highly doubt the people they are sent too even read them anymore. I agree with your letter but it will fall on deaf ears.

its good for your sole to do that once in a while, it has a soothing effect albeit momentarily and superficially.
