This is a letter I wrote to the US Senate, State Senate, House of Representative, my Governor/Lt. Governor, The White House and I'm in the process to send something simular to the local paper: Knowing this will be complete ignored I will send it anyways! I just wanted to express my disappointment in the Senate of the United States of America and our Government. I am a LEGAL immigrant from Europe. Being married to an American I still had to go through the process, which is absolutely fine by me! I did everything by the book, paid money to come...

I am so mad about this whole thing with drivers license for illegal immigrants etc. I'm a legal immigrant who came to the US in 1992.

I have a web group called “Westcoastgermans” and all eight of my members are conservatives (we have a warning disclaimer on the greeting for anybody who wants to join, haha). I was so touched, one of my members mentioned that her friend's husband has four soldiers in his unit that don’t receive mail from anybody. She asked “does anybody want to write to one of them?” and everybody jumped right in and took them all (each took all four)! Lots of good people out there, thought I share.
