I sent a letter to my Congress Critters today. It was less than polite. In fact, on reflection it was probably downright rude. On further reflection, I’m sorry. Not sorry that I sent it. Not sorry that I was rude.
Sorry, that the people we have elected to represent us aren’t listening to us. Sorry, that they look sincere, nod their heads (kind of like a bobble head doll) and then go ahead and do the things they just said they wouldn’t do. Sorry, that they evidently don’t take the oath they swore upon taking office very seriously. Sorry, that they don’t learn from history.
So far, my letters have elicited a generic form letter, thanking me for my interest. I’ll be willing to bet that some lower level flunky will (eventually) skim the letter and either file it in the round file or put a tick mark in the spread sheet in the “Doesn’t support your policies” column. I doubt if the Critters themselves will ever see it.
Occasionally, I used to have to grab my Border Collie by the collar and say in my best “Attention Voice” “YOU’RE NOT LISTENING!!!”
Do you suppose it works with government officials?
