Letter to all congressmen
Your Inability to get anything done.
09-10-10
To all the congressmen (and women) of the United States.
You need to listen to me for the moment, I don't send this
on a whim, I've thought about it a long time and I really
feel, no; I am quite certain, you don't get it.
I am fed up with congressional inability to get anything
of substance done (although a congressional pay raise
always seems to get through). All the in-fighting
and bickering sounds like Shiites and the Sunnis.
What next, grenades & car bombs? Or is it a
smokescreen as some have suggested? You make like it
is a big political battle; this in-fighting, but is it
really for the stopping or delaying any real legislation
for the sole purpose of extending your time at the
government trough. $$$
Now; don't get on your righteous horse and act
insulted. There is a higher concentration of
criminals in congress than anywhere else in America: well
over a hundred have been accused of espousal abuse,
arrested for fraud, accused of writing bad checks,
bankruptcies, assault, bad credit,
drug-related charges, shoplifting and drunk
driving and I'm sorry those are old statistics and
they are the ones we know of which are most certainly only
a fraction of what goes on.
I read a story once about when Tip O'Neill left office
(finally). A large moving van pulled up to his
office and everything of value was loaded up and he took
it home. Everything, the huge (expensive)
mahogany desk, all the furniture, paintings even the rug
was stripped out and taken away. The only thing
about it was, none of it belonged to him, they were ‘on
loan' from the government. Somebody asked.
"Why doesn't somebody stop him?" and the answer was,
"Why? They ALL do it?" So this is it, this is
the righteous people of congress? Blatant
thieves. I have written to many different
congressmen and not surprising, I can't get a single
answer one way or the other as to the validity of this
story, apparently it is true. I wouldn't want to
admit it either.
When times are good you pass a pay raise because you
deserve it for all the good work and when times are bad
you pass a pay raise because, well, times are tough and
you need the money. When somebody brings up real
problems you change the subject to issues that bring up
division and hatred among the public. You do this and you
think I haven't noticed?
(I believe) corruption [in congress] is common-place,
however I suspect you don't view most of it as such.
Passing favorable legislation or not passing unfavorable
legislation, appointments, assures you benefits I can only
guess at. Foreign numbered banks accounts, favors,
information, gifts, assurance of ‘pat' jobs for you or
others, all at my expense. An excellent example of
this is the FDA. Is there a single person in there
that hasn't been bought, bribed or coerced in some way by
the drug companies? Clearly when you pass
legislation "requiring" seniors to sign up with a drug
company, threaten and penalize anyone who would have the
audacity to seek cheaper drugs elsewhere, you are
legislating corruption. Just because you pass a law
doesn't make it right. If I had my way you would all
be literally skinned, staked over an active ant hill and
your corrupt staff forced to antagonize the ants. It
would only be just.
An e-mail circulating recently pointed out that the drug
companies can and do make anywhere from ten to one hundred
thousand percent on their product. The figures check
out yet why are pharmaceutical companies getting the most
favored legislation; apparently they know who to bribe. .
