I must be just about as frustated as I can possibly be. So, this afternoon I surfed over to www.senate.gov and started sending emails to my esteemed GOP Senators:
Here's what I sent. Short, sweet, to the point. Hopefully some of you will like it and send something similar.
Email on the flip...
CONGRATS! Great Job on "Lake George"!
Dear Senator (x):
It's amazing, isn't it? George W. Bush has almost single-handedly turned New Orleans, LA into Lake George. One of America's biggest cities, one of our greatest treasures, gone because G.W. Bush and the GOP cut the funding for the levees.
Americans know all about this, Senator (x), even out here in Colorado. The levees failed where the workers had to stop work because of the funding cuts. You, G.W. Bush, and your ultra-corrupt "conservative" cronies are responsible.
What's "conservative" about destroying America, Senator? How is this any different from "terrorism"? I'd really like for you to explain this to me.
Yours Sincerely,
