My heretofore politically inactive brother in
the Norfolk area just emailed me to let me know that he wrote a letter to his Republican Rep...his very first one. He is pissed about taxes and the budget proposal made by the Rs among other things. Guess who his rep is??? Cantor.

2. Encourage him to continue to write
his Republican Rep and to encourage his friend to do so as well.

I will be writing my Republican Senator Blunt & my DINO Senator McCaskill to tell them what I think.

It may not make any difference beyond making me feel better, but it's only an email.

3. A little more detail?
Is he pissed that they didn't cut spending more? Pissed that he's Taxed Enough Already?

Just asking for clarification.

Thanks,
Bake

4. He's pissed that he's paying all he can
and he lost some deductions this year to boot. He's retired Navy. He thinks it is time for the wealthy to pay their fair share.
