   I wish, that just for once for a change, that before a Senator opens his/her piehole and professes to speak for me, that they might call me first and ask how I really feel about something.

   I really resent being told “I think we should do [something], because you don’t care”. Not my idea of a good public servant.

   PS. Glad to say I don’t have to claim Schmucky as my senator. Mine are often bad, but not that bad…

   PS2. Terms limits for US Senators are looking like a good thing the more I see (and hear) US Senators.

   I am disgusted this man has the gall to make a statement like this! I too am unable to access the link, but perhaps an old fashion letter with a stamp is in order.
   I am sure he is more disturbed that the “chattering classes of people” (I think he termed it, which I believe was about perhaps…um…people like MM and those who are watching this debacle)have a way to alert us to these kinds of situations IMMEDIATELY and We The People actually have an opinion and make our voices heard.
   Apparantly Chuck and quite a few others seem to have forgotten that in AMERICA, we are ALLOWED to voice our differences of opinon, and OUR ELECTED officials are supposed to respond to their constituants by listening to ALL of them.

   Try this one:

   http://schumer.senate.gov/new_website/contact.cfm

   While it is highly unlikely that it will do any good in the sense that politicians are unlikely to be swayed by anything short of an avalanche of criticism from voters in their own district, that doesn’t mean contacting them isn’t worth the effort.

   First, it has to make them nervous when they realize that they are ALL playing with fire, and people across the country are furious. They know that ultimately a day of reckoning is coming. Don’t think they don’t compare notes, and don’t think their staffers’ morale isn’t affected as the 50% or so that have functioning neurons realize just how much angry opposition is out there in flyover country.

   Second, it is an opportunity to flex your creative muscles, considering new ways to describe the depths of their depravity and the magnitude of your contempt.

   Third, there is the satisfaction of a job well done, and the knowledge that you have at least done what you could, at least until the next election.

   I’m sure there are more good reasons, but I have to go write a few letters.

    My polite comments:

    Dear Mr Schumer,

    Thank you for capitulating to the Democrats and joining them in passing the so called “Generational Theft Act of 2009″..

    Taking money from working people, to give to government pork projects does not “stimulate” any economy..

    I realize that congress thinks that the appearance of doing something wrong, is better than doing nothing at all. However, smart people would think differently. People should be free to spend their money however they see fit. Not spent by a government bureaucrat.

    So, once again.. Thank you for supporting spending my money, my children’s money, my grand children’s money, and most likely my great-grand children’s money in on year! That is if we make it as a country by then.

    Feel free to call if you need any ideas on how to become a conservative. Surely you do not know.

    Incensed,

    Zippy Slug..

It will do little good to call them except that jamming their phone lines will at least let them know that they could possibly lose the next election.
