A Letter to my Congressman

Congressman Moore -

Eleven years ago the good people of the state of Kansas saw something in you. They saw a man they thought they could trust to represent and protect their interests. They saw a man they thought shared their ethics, values and sense of personal responsibility. They gave you their vote, their confidence...trusted you to do what was in their best interest. In the years since, most of those voters have paid little attention to what you were actually doing in their name - they simply trusted you to do the right thing.

This year things are a little different. This year, we have video proof that there are people in the White House who are light years away from traditional Kansas values. From Van Jones, the self-avowed Communist, to Anita Dunn, who derives her political philosophies from Chairman Mao, right up to the President who spent 20 years attending a Black Liberation Theology church, these people do not see the greatness of this nation as your constituents do. Rather, they see this as a flawed society crying out for their control and micro-management.

In the Congress, the inmates are running the asylum. Nancy Pelosi's vision of Utopia may appeal to the left wing ultra liberals in San Francisco, but they certainly do not fit the founders' vision for this nation. Harry Reid has strayed so far to the left that even liberal and decadent Las Vegas is seriously considering firing him. Chris Dodd and Barney Frank bear more responsibility for our current economic meltdown than any other two living human beings. And still they thirst for more - more power, more control over the people of the United States.

This will not stand.

Congressman, you have a choice to make. Will you continue to vote the party line, showing complete disregard for those who have given you the honor of representing them in Washington? Or will you remember where you came from?

Surely you cannot agree that destroying our currency is good for the people you represent. Can you possibly believe that another unsustainable entitlement program is in the best interests of Kansans? Can you honestly claim that the billions in new taxes and massive controls of Cap and Trade are good for this nation? Judging from your complete absence from the public eye during the August recess, the answer is clear: you know that you are no longer serving those who sent you to Washington and you lack the courage to face us and hear from us first hand.

Sir, I appeal to whatever shreds of Kansas values still lurk somewhere deep inside you - stand up for your district! Your vote in favor of any more bloated federal government programs or policies would seriously risk the complete destruction of everything this country has spent two centuries building. Can you honestly bear to have that on your conscience for the rest of your days?

Do not take this country any further down the road to socialism. Do not allow your legacy to be so shameful. What may seem like going along to get along is destroying all that America represents. Each vote you cast becomes a permanent part of the history of our country - please make it a history that will continue to make us all proud of our nation.
