Jim Robinson delivered the following letter to the offices of Senators Arlen Specter, Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe this morning.
The Honorable Arlen Specter
711 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510
Sen. Specter,
On behalf of the several hundred thousand members of FreeRepublic.com, I urge you to vote against cloture and passage of the so-called stimulus bill, or as we call it, the Porkulus Bill.
We appreciate your good faith efforts on improving the bill. However, statements by your Democratic colleagues show that they have no intention of abiding by the compromises negotiated with you. In short, the Democrats are playing you and the American people for suckers.
This bill needs to be stopped. If passed, it will pile so much debt on our citizens, with more indebtedness to come with TARP and the omnibus bill, that they will become slaves to that debt and slaves to government.
As you reflect on your votes today and tomorrow, I ask you to consider what our Founding Fathers would do in this situation. Would they sacrifice and endure short term pain for the good of the Nation, or would they vote to enslave future generations with unsustainable debt for short term gain?
May God save America from its government,
James C. Robinson
Founder and President

Awesome, Jim and Kristinn. Short and succinct!
Excellent letter.
How did the FReep go this morning?
WTG Jim!
WOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Right on Jim Rob! Thanks for posting this Kristinn!
Do you know if he was able to hand deliver it to them? Get a meeting or anything? I would hope that Jim Robinson of Free Republic would at least get a little bit of time from those sanctimonious bas.... Uh.. I mean Honorable Members.
They despise Free Republic, folks. It won’t make any difference in the end with these three.
I’m not saying it wasn’t the correct thing to do, to be crystal clear, it is.
Just noting what we are dealing with.
Excellent letter!
God Bless Jim for giving us all a ‘voice’ and delivering it by hand!
Thank you all very much!
Good job Sir.
Excellent! I especially like the final sentence...
I had a problem with the “Honorable” part. Otherwise, pretty good.
Good letter, makes the point clearly.
Specter will most certainly ignore it, since he is so self convinced of his perfection but it might affect the other two. Here’s hoping.
Even if those “cuts” stay out of the Porkulus bill, one dem senator said they would just put it back into the omnibus bill that would come later this year!
It’s a good thing, cause all the senators email boxes are full & rejecting any new emails!
Thanks Jim Rob!!!
Amen, and Amen.
Excellent.
I know you're being sarcastic, but to not follow proper protocol would be to negate any chance of getting their attention...
At the risk of revealing how ignorant I am on such things, I must ask why these three are allowed to remain in the Republican Party. Is anyone ever tossed?
Great job guys way to go!!!
Thank you, Jim....Well Done!
Agreed.
Signed....
