I have never been so enraged, that I would tell-off my Rep. via e-mail.
the Ca-02 dist. has been straped with this clown long enough. this is what I just Sent Rep. Herger
Dear Sir, August 26, 2009
I am one of your many constituents in the Ca.-02 Congressional District. I will admit to you that I have Never Voted for you in any of the last 12 election cycles. With that said I am appalled at the statements that I have been hearing from you & my fellow constituents, the worst of all happened @ Simpson "U" in Redding, Ca. How in the Hell can you Sir praise someone & Bless them under your God. For this person claims of being "A right- Wing Terrorist" When just a few Years Ago (about 8 yrs.) the Government (under the full control of the GOP) this person would have rounded-up buy which ever Federal Law enforcement agency decided to deploy and would have Never seen the light of day again. The rest of the Party just did what ever the "Leaders" decided what was the course, Nation be damned! So How can you praise such a vulgar display. You are the peoples Rep., NOT Big Farming, Not Big Health Care, NOT anyone’s but the People of District Ca.-02.
I also find it amusing that a Person who grew up in the "perfect 1950’s", since you are about the same age as my own parents. You & that Generation got to grow-up in the shadow of the New Deal, with all that it brought this Great Republic. You know the highest standard of living, the Best Education system anywhere, top notch Health-Care (that did not Bankrupt Patients) & the most Productive Employment force on Earth. Who sacrificed for all this? Why "the Greatest Generation" They gave up their youth, lives & their Personal Future. Why? They believed in their Nation, the Leaders & themselves. When it was time for the "Boomers" to step up and do what is Right & Good for the Nation’s People this is way too much to ask of this generation. Since the GOP is owned by Big Corporate-Money (it does not matter which Corporation) they Own you & Your Party, Since they oppose all Democratic ideas (they always have) especially anything that might Help the General Public e.g. Health-Care, Green-Energy, Unions, Any Education, but there is always enough Money for Tax-Cuts (For the Top 5%), Military Budget (never turn downed one system yet) & My personal favorite Corporate-Welfare. Always enough for these interest, yet not enough for the people who represent in Dist.Ca-02.
Sir it is time for you Step-Up (do the All of the Peoples Business) or Move-On (let someone New Step-Up). Yes Sir, Some of us enjoy the idea of a Public-Option. I think that Single-Payer is truly the only option, but I am just one of many drowned out Voices in the debt. Since that is the last thing an Industry that is $.35 on the dollar profit would want. I am a Proud Independent American! You Sir & this ugly-American image that is being pushed by the GOP is the greatest Threat this Nation Will ever Face. I have Faith in my fellow American to Stand up to this like we did to, England (Twice), Spain, Nazi-Germany (such a tragedy to Proud People, to be duped in by a bunch Neo-cons in Brown Shirts) the Empire of Japan & the Soviet Union. Over 200+ years of standing tall & proud Nation, but Health-Care & the Democratic Party (President Obama) "the Greatest Threat to Democracy, I’ve ever seen". Wally Herger, Redding, Ca.08/22/09 (Town hall). "I don’t have a Plan", Wally Herger, Chico, Ca. 08/19/09 (Town hall). Sir this is not good. Stop with this Dangerous Rhetoric, this is how they justified; Kennedy, Lincoln, Garfield & McKinley. So lets all act like the Adults that our Parents raised us to be.
