I just sent this letter to Rep. Chris Shays (R-CT):
Hi Rep. Shays. I think what you said recently took some courage, but it's definitely true:
"This Republican Party of Lincoln has become a party of theocracy... There are going to be repercussions from this vote. There are a number of people who feel that the government is getting involved in their personal lives in a way that scares them."
What I want to know is: have you considered switching parties? Or at least leading a revolt against the theo-cons and their unethical leader, Tom DeLay? I mean, you're clearly a man of principle, but as long as the Republican party is led in Washington by Bush, Frist, and DeLay, I just don't see how you can stand to be a part of it.
Thanks for your time.
And I encourage you to send one of your own, if you've got a minute, especially if you're in his district: Click to write to Rep. Shays
