Well my kids already know there will be no Christmas, I can not pay for or even help
them with College. And Bills keep going up
I can’t even steal from Peter to pay Paul,
because Peter did not get any bailout money!

Bravo! Every letter or communication has a cumulative effect and after awhile, they have to start listening. The only thing they really care about is re-election. Most legislators spend 80% of their time while in office, campaigning for re-election funds.

There are very few congressmen/women who are principled enough to fight for the rights of the individual. Too many Republicans have forgotten the principles of capitalism and freedom. Since there is no strong “third party” our only option is to continue trying to “educate” our elected officials about the meanings of the Constitution. To give up is to surrender. I refuse to do that!

Virginia is in a great place to develop the pixie dust the nation will run on in the future. We don’t need any of the old stuff. We need lots of the new stuff. Let’s use the new stuff. Pixie dust is endless, and if we need more the government can order up a new batch from one of its fancy pants laboratories. Pixie dust is clean, fantastically cheap and abundant. We won’t be dependent on others for our supplies of pixie dust because we make it all here. Rumor has it that it’s a byproduct of the government printing presses that print money. It just appears when the money is printed out. Go Pixie Dust! Go Clean Energy!

Of all of the asinine ideas dreamed up in Washington, cap & trade has to be the worst.

This health care reform is nothing more than a power grab and more taxes for EVERYONE. You promised not to raise taxes for people who make under $250,000 and yet your Cap and Tax scheme is going to make my utility bills triple. How am I going to afford that? You have lied about everything you promised. I’m tired of your lies. I’m going to vote everyone I can out of Congress and I’m going to vote for ANYONE that runs against you in the next election.

I work for a church. We have had many requests from people asking for help to pay their current electric bills and we are just coming out of warm weather. Several are single mothers. We unfortunately can not help them all. If utility prices increase, how are the lower income families going to survive. I took one women to Human Services for help. She was without electric for one month. She had to beg and borrow to come up with the difference in order to have the agency help her. She was not treated with respect at the agency; nor, were the people who had been waiting for hours to see a representative.

With apologies for beating a dead horse:

When it comes to the nation’s economic well-being, and perhaps even their own jobs, Virginians have plenty of horse sense – sound practical judgment. Non-Virginians, too, if they’ve given a moment’s thought to the unrepealable law of supply and demand and what sudden scarcity – of an affordable tank of gas for your car or truck or a tolerable monthly home utility bill – will do to the price of, well, everything.

So, please urge the patrons of Colonial Downs that’s it now post time: time for them to saddle up, get on their high horse, and tell their elected representatives in Washington (who work for their constituents, not the other way around) to hold their horses. If they don’t display a little old-fashioned horse sense of their own, they’re being stubborn as…a mule.

Mr. Ed
