I did send her an e-mail though, even if I didn't ask her to resign, something she will never do. It is my hope that she will at least choose not to run for re-election and in the mean time act a little more respectable. Thank you for the post.
Senator Murray;
You have no idea how angry you have made me! I have seen your website apology, but it is too little!
It was bad enough to the image of Washington State and the moral of our armed forces, when 7th District Congressman McDermott went overseas and became a poster-boy for people who are trying to kill Americans. Now you have become a rallying point for the Taliban!
Please look at the following Taliban Website that praises you!

Personally, I don't think that you can ever sufficiently apologize to me or to the friends and families of the armed forces that defend our country. Regardless of your intent, SHAME ON YOU!
Over Christmas, the son of our neighbor came over to visit us and my oldest son, who was home from college. Our neighbor's son is an Air Force pilot on home from training. He is being deployed to the Middle East in mid-January. We discussed a number of things. He was talking about how he was wanting to go to college on the GI bill after his enlistment is up. He is proud to be in the Air Force and to have made it through as a pilot.
We too were proud of him. He had some problems graduating from high school and my two sons talked to him. My wife as a former teacher at the high school did an intervention that allowed him to re-take a course during the summer, yet allowed him to graduate with his classmates. Soon after that he enlisted in the Air Force. He has been a close friend of the family even before we helped him. He usually calls us when he is on leave from the Air Force.
I hope that as you enjoy your year end holiday, you reflect on the discredit you have brought to your country, the dishonor you have brought to your state, and the aid you have brought to people committed to killing Americans. I pray that my neighbor's son is not harmed by those you have so encouraged.

Now if only Boeing moved to the Midwest lock, stock and barrel, Seattle would have to turn out the lights, and the whole passel of liberals would go insane increasing taxes to compensate...
