An open letter to the U.S. Senate

We live in troubled times in our nation, we experience troubles
brought on by ineffective legislators who parade in front of TV
cameras, when they should be about the nations business.
Legislators who are more concerned about their next
appearance on the next talk show than they are about the
nation’s welfare and the peoples business.

The President has chosen people to serve on the courts who
will, hopefully, not legislate from the bench, but will dispense
justice. A few preening peacocks have decided they are more
powerful than the Executive branch of the government so they
refuse to allow an up or down vote on the President's choices
as called for in the constitution. Peacocks who strut about
spouting lies and spreading innuendo, who think nothing of
smearing decent, God fearing, persons of integrity, chosen
to serve the people, by the twice elected leader of this nation.
This they do because of their hatred and bitterness toward
the President and an inordinate desire for power.

How did we stray so far from our roots? Our nation
was founded by godly Puritan men and women who believed
there was an eternal plan for this land. A providential plan
for greatness for this land that God brought them to. The
founders had lofty and noble plans for this country, they
were men who's faith in God directed their decisions in
designing the legacy we now enjoy. The legacy of being a part
of the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the history
of the world. Where are the lofty ideals and noble plans today?
They are not to be found, rather what we see and hear are
gutter snipes, yapping and snapping across the aisles of congress.
We see the left carping and complaining and accusing by
innuendo, in the meantime they have no plans or solutions
to the problems we face. Then there are the Republicans,
the elected majority cowering and trembling as though they
were a minority. Is there no one among you who will
stand and deliver for the people who put you in office.

The left defends their right to filibuster as though it were a
noble thing. A filibuster by definition is: An obstructionist
tactic used to delay legislative action. Senators
enough is enough. Either you must be about the peoples
business or we will replace as many of you as possible in
2006. I have determined not to make another political
contribution until I see some solutions to some of the
problems facing us. A solution to end judicial tyranny, a
solution to the problem of sexual predators in our
neighborhoods who kill our children, a solution
to dwindling social security benefits, a solution to the
murder of the unborn for the sake of convenience,
murder justified by re-defining it as "choice", and a
solution to bring an end to the limitless appeals process,
disguised as compassion, for those convicted of violent
crimes . In short Senators, be about the peoples business
or face expulsion in 2006.

I urge my fellow Americans to withhold political contributions
from every fence sitter, and every obstructionist who fails to
do what both God and the people require of them:

You shall appoint judges and officers in your gates
(courts), which the Lord your God gives you, and
they shall judge the people with just judgment.
You shall not pervert justice; you shall not show
partiality nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds
the eyes of the wise and twist the words of the
righteous. You shall follow what is altogether
just that you may live and inherit the land
which the Lord your God has given you.
Deuteronomy 16:18-20
