Open Letter to Ed Pastor
Mike ShipleyYour practice of shielding yourself from accountability by hiding behind low-level staffers is unacceptable. By what authority do you refuse to speak with constituents, and deliberately avoid all direct communications?
Hunter S. Thompson said - "Some people will say that words like scum and rotten are wrong for Objective Journalism — which is true, but they miss the point."
What he meant was that words like 'rotten' or 'scum' are accurate descriptive words for some people; in other words, the truth is the truth regardless of the terminology used.
He should be arrested and tried for High Treason as a traitor to We the People of the United States of America.
Ed Pastor is a sellout and always will be!
Ed will never be available to meet with you because he is (1) too busy hanging out at the border cutting holes in the fence and (2) too busy to return calls because he is "out to lunch" with the bonus thieves from AIG. Isn't it time we declared the CFR to be a traitorous organization and place its members on a traitor's watch list?
The letter from Mike Shipley is, to put it mildly, discouraging for those of us who have, up until recently, had some respect and confidence in our representative form of government. So many of us forget that WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT while these people such as Mr. Pastor are merely those chosen to represent us. Unfortunately, these "representatives" have also forgotten this and feel that they are "the government". As a result, long ago our votes became meaningless and our voices smothered.
Politics and partisanship have always been a nasty game, but now the Republicans have made trash of our system of government to an extent never seen before. People are now so discouraged that there is no longer a grain of trust in what we can do about it - even as far as wishing to correspond to those who are supposed to represent us.
So what's to be done about it? There is only one thing that I can think of and that's to do our best to TURN THE RASCALS OUT. Don't fail to vote! VOTE AGAINST THEM!
If there is one thing we can do, it's push for term limits. How? Good question.
