Got this ready to send Issa's way. Should I change any of it?

Dear Rep. Issa,

Taking this time away from the nations recovery at this point in international concerns is foolhardy and a waste of the country's time and money. This action on your part is obviously a partisan witch hunt that has little to nothing to do with facts or justice.This vote should be about a bill that moves the economy off stall and into productivity. I am very disappointed in your leadership in this case and I wish that you would care more about those in need who are being hurt by Republican polices in the states of this country than your desire to make another party unable to help our recovery. With the problems of gun oversight you have been playing Clouseau in a non-substantial case.
Our country's interests are not being served by your actions. You should apologize to your constituency and all the citizens of the US for being so vindictive that you have created a mess of the power given you in your chairmanship.
I will be anxious to see you make amends.

Something simpler, Our country's interests are not being served by you, perhaps.

I'm also for the there, they're, their stuff, and the its versus it's. Leftovers from Catholic school and all those spelling bees - for which I earned a mountain of holy cards as prizes. And they were like baseball cards or Pokemon cards, we collected 'em and traded 'em - "Hey, I've got five Nativity scenes. I'll trade you one for your St. Catherine and her torture wheel!" The martyr cards were always kinda cook in a gruesome way. St. Lucy was always pictured holding a palm (the symbol for martyrdom) and a silver tray with two eyeballs on it. Because as legend had it, she was martyred by having her eyes put out. St. Agnes always carried a lamb and a palm, and she and several other female martyrs who'd been beheaded were often depicted with a slit in their throats - and a couple of blood drops dripping down.

Cool and gruesome. Yep, that was Catholic school!

Our country's interests are not being served your actions. This reads better:

Our country's interests are not being served __BY__your actions.

I'd be tempted to close it with:

"Fuck you and the Dressage horse you trotted in on", but that would be unprofessional.

Great job!

I wish they could just be fired. They are actually harmful to our democracy.
