Chuck Wooten, a military veteran, was already ticked off about Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) pushing through the bipartisan budget deal, which includes cuts to veterans retirement benefits. So when he got a fundraising email from Ryans office asking for money, he decided to really let the Wisconsin congressman know how he feels.
The scathing open letter, posted on Facebook last week, is going viral and you only have to read the first few sentences to know why. It should be noted that because Wootens Facebook page is set to private, we werent able to review the original post on his wall and had to rely on re-posts.
Please note that this request by you for a cash donation from me is extremely unfortunate and very ill-timed, Wooten writes in the open letter to Ryan. You see sir, I am one of the military retirees your bipartisan budget just impacted. You and every Republican (both in the House and Senate) that voted to pass this travesty betrayed and broke trust with me and everyone like me.
He continued: You may not know us by name, but were the people, Congressman, who answered our Nations call, some of us at a very early age to willingly serve YOU and others LIKE YOU so you could safely attend college and pursue your personal ambitions without fear of harm.
Wooten went on to remind Ryan of the bravery his brothers-in-arms display every single day as they boldly answer the call of duty, without fail, without complaint.
And for that service, we were given absolute assurance our so-called retirement benefits would be protected by law. The very law you shattered in your zeal to impress your Democratic cohorts in your back room dealwith the enemy.

Ping.
Some lightning please?
Slow down there big guy..
If it was promised to them when they signed up or during their service. They should get it. Period.
Go after the welfare queens and aid to countries that hate us. (or even ones that like us for that matter)
But if it was promised to the vets WE should keep that promise.
You, sir or ma’am, are an unbelievable moron who knows not of what they speak, IMO.
Paul Ryan and his RINO cohorts can KISS MY AMERICAN VET ASS.
No further comment required.
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.
“it” is simply stirring up trouble.
Paul Ryan and his cohorts were hoping you would think that way.
You know what’s bizarre? The colorful lightning coming your way.
What a bizarre post.
Your hours are numbered troll.
Agreed.
The liberal Democrats are an enemy to the American people and our Nation.
This simple, sickening truth should be shouted from the rooftops everday!!! Instead, Repub patsies in Congress prefer to cower and cringe, make war on Tea Party conservatives, send out Kwanzaa tidings, and sell our grandchildren into tax slavery. May every one of them rot in HELL!!!
Wow! My first pre zot post!
” Im tired of the vets”
You could have stopped there and saved yourself the trouble.
Jim is a veteran by the way.
Instead of stopping though, you kept going.
And then ended with disparaging the honor of everyone in uniform
“ And none of it has made me more secure. Why these people enlist is nothing short of bizarre.”
Kiss my phosphorescent white backside!
If I promise you something and you go under the assumption for quite some time that I am going to fulfill that promise, If I suddenly pull the rug from under you, I am sure you would not complain.
SO how about you loan me $100,000 and I promise I will pay you back $200,000 in 5 years.
How’s that.
Oops! 3 years from now I will change it to $10,000.
That OK with you?

Interesting.
We have likely seen them before.
In other news, Obama just gave $1.5 Billion to Somalia - the same nation that banned Christmas and is killing Christians. Yup, there’s no where else to make cuts...
“Im tired of the vets whining about having their bennies cut. “

“...The [Detroit] clerks, administrators, janitors, etc. who were promised a pension and made career decisions based in part on that contractual commitment are hardly to blame and in all fairness should not bear the brunt of the bankruptcy.”
Bizarre indeed.
Sort of like that cartoonist POS Rall that called servicemen "saps".
Sounds like your viewpoint as well, troll.
Enjoy the lightning cattle prod up your arse. Then again, you likely do like that stuff.
