Country First: Letter to Congresscritters September 14, 2011
An open letter to various Republican Congresscriters:
I have come to believe that the GOP is not so much the party of “Country First” but is more the party of “Country first to be sacrificed for political gain.”
Please prove me wrong by supporting the President’s Jobs/Stimulus Proposal. It’s probably too small to do much good so late in the day, but it’s the best thing that he has the slightest chance of getting through.
Thank you.
The recipients of this useless missive are US Representative Sam Johnson, Texas 3rd district; US Senator Kay Hutchison, Texas; US Senator John Cornyn, Texas; Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell House Speaker: John Boehner.
On their various contact web forms, I noted that there is a select menu for picking a topic. Only John Boehner’s and Key Hutchison’s form listed “Jobs” as a possible topic.
Of course my contention that the Republican party has become the party of “country first to be sacrificed for political gain” has little to do with the current stimulus proposal; instead it has everything to do with how they have been acting over the past few years, coming to a head with the debt ceiling fiasco. As one friend described things, “voting Republican would be like King Solomon granting custody to the women who thought it was okay to cut the kid in half.”
If I get any interesting responses (unlikely) I’ll post the responses as well.
