You actually sent this?

Did you get a response?

[HiJinx]

Most excellent letter.
Contempt of Congress, indeed. I think that is becoming more prevalent...

[HiJinx]

Not your typical border list...Ping!

If only we can go back to requiring the state legislator to select the senators for their respective state. It would end the senators for life club that includes Kennedy and his kind.

"Republican" is not enough to earn the votes of me, my wife, my family, or the people with whom I have contact. I want to see conservative ACTION, not platitudes and promises.

Mind if I use that for me correspondence with congress?

[visualops]

Well done!
I’ve got a lot of “contempt for Congress” too, but you are far more eloquent and succinct than me!

I add to the firs line “I found how the World had been misled by prostitute Writers,” of legislation!

I found how the World had been misled by prostitute Writers,
to ascribe the greatest Exploits in War to Cowards,
the wisest Counsel to Fools,
Sincerity to Flatterers,
Roman Virtue to Betrayers of their Country,
Piety to Atheists,
Chastity to Sodomites,
Truth to Informers.

Well Done Patriot!!!

This was copied/pasted from the Email contact form on the Senator’s web site. He has refused to announce his positions on ENDA, LOST, or future attempts at amnesty - and I call his office several times a week to ask.

This was about his harping on the B-H report from 2 years ago as some kind of perfect plan for solving Iraq. Actually, it was a perfect plan for grandstanding, posturing, and prevaricating, which is the true calling of every senator.

[Just A Nobody]

Wow! YOU are my new hero!

But what I NEVER saw in ANY position on that board was any kind of a group, committee, or other gaggle of incompetent asses like "the Baker Hamilton Committee" or the equally incompetent "United States Senate".

a long term state of utter "contempt of congress"

Outstanding!!!

[fieldmarshaldj]

Forget it, Jake. Lamar!’s a RINO.

[proudmilitarymrs]

Excellent. Thanks for sharing this here, too.

I have stated similar to Lamar. I hope there is some decent primary opposition to him next election, but, I think the Tennessee Republican party will not allow it.

[YOUGOTIT]

Outstanding letter. As I say the greatest threat to out freedom is the US Senate. I often wonder if they can be sued for not following their oath of office and not following their requirements in the Constitution and violating federal Supreme law in giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Lamar is used to getting mail like this all of the time. We have not had a decent senator in Tenn. for a very long time.

[kalee]

Well said!

I pretty much agree with your letter. I would note that most of our complaints are with the Senate for at least the last 20 years. I’ve seen ‘good’ men go in and come out the same disgusting sell outs over and over. Jeff Sessions, so far,seems to have risen above it consistently. I can’t really think of another one. At least in the House of Representatives there are a few who have stood tall even when they’ve had to buck the GOP leadership because they were wrong.
