Dear Mr. Scott,
Although your communiques are generally annoying, because in them you usually confirm that you have voted in direct opposition to what I, as a constituent, have requested of you, I must give credit where it is due.
Your latest email has the subject line: "He has risen!" While I do NOT respect the inclination of a representative ANYwhere in the SECULAR United States of America to pander to those who believe that Bronze-Age dead people could come back to life (or that Arabian virgins could conceive babies, or that the Earth could stop in its orbit, etc.), I must thank you for not using the phrase "He IS risen", which is quite annoying to people who speak standard English.
It is 2015. Using incorrect, archaic English does NOT give a notion more credence. Thank you for sparing us that particular insult (and for sparing us embarrassment FOR you, on THIS account - I hate to be embarrassed FOR another).
Whoever entitled that email should be given a reward. (I'm thinking an actual $ raise - whatever you can afford - not old, boiled Easter eggs, or partially-melted chocolates.)
If you wrote it yourself, I am especially impressed. In that event, a pat on the back is in order.
In ANY event, this gives me a glimmer of hope that you can perform sensibly, regarding other matters! A glimmer....
So, in my renewed faith, I will continue to send you legislative policy requests, via correspondence and petitions - in a renewed spirit of hope!
We face many challenges that would not exist, were it not for the foolishness, greed, and weaknesses of past legislators.
Please do what is right for The People. If you are responsibly informed, and a person of reasonable judgement, you will find this relatively easy. (Unless you are a socio/psychopath, which I'd like to think you are not.)
More importantly, do what is right for the ancient indigenous land, waters, air, vegetables and animals/people (of whatever miraculous origin) that, as a team, keep We The People, and ALL the world, alive. Please. This system is very old, and delicately balanced, and will not "suffer" human folly kindly...
Thank you again.
Sincerely,
A Bona Fide, Voting Constituent, Who Communicates With Other Constituents

Well... I did not mention this in the above letter, but under a recent self-congratulatory "Robins AFB post" on Scott's FB page ( https://www.facebook.com/... ) a veteran had the following to say. Scott supports the front-end, profiteering, military-industrial complex (MIC - that Eisenhower warned us about), but apparently not the back-end veterans. Which is like most chickenhawk, warmongering Republicans.
Anyway, I'm apparently not the only one he doesn't listen to. I don't like that.
Another person's two cents:
