( I originally penned this in 2009, yet it still stands today)

I’m not really one to write to politicians, but today I had it.

I went into my spam email, and fittingly there was something from Bob Casey’s office sitting there. I followed the link to his page, and it just struck a nerve as he’s sitting there, up Obama’s ass, and patting himself on the back for such a great job he’s doing. Phht.

So I sent this letter to his office, I’m sure I won’t get the response I’m really expecting.

Dear Mr. Casey,

Just to set the record straight I didn’t see a category, so I just chose one.

The entire current administration, is corrupt. We know it, you know it. You can’t continue to delve into the rhetoric and believe your own publicity. I won’t say I’m a staunch Libertarian, but if you ran your personal household, the way this country is run, you’d be bankrupt in a month. You can’t spend money you don’t have. You can’t expect taxpayers to continue to lose their income, and still have a tax base.

The economic stimulus plan is a joke. The President is a joke, a bad lawyer joke at that. I find it ironic that we continue to send troops to other countries to give them democracy, yet we give up our rights daily. You can’t legislate morality, you can’t continue to enable Americans not to work, and expect the government to take care of them. Truly not what the founding fathers were discussing when they were penning our Constitution. The government is as I remember it, “establish justice and ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, ensure domestic welfare, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity”  

I think everyone who gave up their lives is rolling in their grave looking at what the lot of the current “statesman” are allowing to happen to this nation. The United States has sold out, indebted ourselves to other countries, that we can’t possible repay. Back before there was Bankruptcy reform, the government urged consumers to declare bankruptcy and get out of debt. Well Mr.Casey, we are in a position now that may be inconceivable  at first, but with the economy in shambles, the US needs to practice what it preaches. We’re already in a global meltdown. We aren’t ever going to balance a budget that is trillions of dollars in the negative. We aren’t going to repay China, nor can we use the US as collateral anymore. What we are is a country that lives in fear. People want to point to the prior administration, but the reality is, could you imagine what the outcry would have been if we hadn’t reacted to 9/11? Osama did exactly what he wanted to do since 93 when he first attacked the World Trade Center. It was a symbol of prosperity, and he carefully executed with precision a way to destroy the West.

So instead of patting yourselves on the back for living off our backs, pull the best economists from the private sector and universities. We aren’t a wealthy and healthy society, its all smoke and mirrors. The toughest decisions to make aren’t popular, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have to be made. We want to see real change Mr. Casey, not another campaign speech from the President.

We the People, will be watching and waiting for real economic progress and reform.

Thank you.
