I e-mailed my Congressman a few days ago about the fiscal

cliff thing. I told him the taxes on people making over $250,000 should go back to the level under Bill Clinton. I also told him SS should not be cut because it never added on penny to the debt and leave Medicare alone. This morning I get an e-mail back saying that we didn't have a revenue problem and this would be the largest tax increase in the history of the US and Obama wants to gut defense. He assured me he would oppose any tax increase, fight Obama-care, and any cuts in defense spending and wanted to reform SS and save Medicare. By reform SS and save Medicare means he still supports the Ryan budget. I got so pissed off I just deleted his f---g e-mail.

might have been to respond:

Dear Congressman,

You have lost my support in 2014, in fact, because you have not grasp that all the policy objectives that you have indicated have been litigated and decided in the most recent election, I, therefore, am compelled to actively work against your continued legislative participation.

Love,

XXX

has been gerrymandered to the point he will probably be in there for life unless he gets caught in some kind of scandal like Bob Ney did..If you call his office you basically get the same stock answer, he don't give a shit what you want.
