Constituient Response

I recently sent a note to my senators, registering my opposition to the massive wealth transfer know as the “bailout”.  I got this back from one of them…

“Dear Mr. Robinson:

Thank you for contacting me regarding the housing market. I welcome your thoughts and comments on this issue.

Homeownership is an essential part of the American Dream. Congress should strive to improve access to affordable housing, support community development, and increase homeownership, while not imposing an undue tax burden on Americans….”

It goes on with the usual political blather.

How on earth did we stray so far from our Constitution that a sitting Republican Senator can actually believe this is a valid function of Congress?

My fellow citizens, it is past time for thousands of us to physically descend on our capital and straighten these folks out!

If this seems a bit extreme, please remember this.  If someone broke directly into our homes with the intent of taking everything we have earned, most of us would shoot them without a second thought.  But, let Congress steal our very birthright and we stay silent???  Then shame on US!

How can the present Congress say it any louder — they represent themselves and the special interests. They do NOT represent us!  The only time they remember us is when they need more treasure to plunder.
