I emailed my Congressperson, please email yours!
The text of my letter is as follows:

To the Honorable Judy Biggert,

Madam,

It is with great shock and dismay that I write to you to express my disgust for the conduct of the House of Representatives majority party. The calling of Capital Police in order to quell the reading of a marked up bill by the minority party when they had been given no opportunity to read the bill, nor would the majority party allow the reading of the bill into the record, goes beyond the absurd.

This, madam, is reprehensible behavior of a tyrannical and irresponsible majority. We live in a nation of laws, not mob rule.

Submitted faithfully,
Walter E. Starr


The acts of the Republicans demostrates they deserve the nickname, RETHUGLICANS!!!

2. Thank you
We can be aghast at the actions of the Republicans, but if we do not contact our duly elected representatives to express outrage at their conduct, they will believe they can get away with these thuggish tactics whenever they choose.

6. Since Bill Thomas is my congressman,
I emailed Dennis Hastert instead asking for his resignation. I am trying to get hold of Congresswoman Lois Capps, who is a representative of the neighboring disrict and she has an office nearby.

Judy Biggert is a Republican rubber stamper.

10. Those are the ones we should mail the MOST!
Let them start fearing retribution of the constituency.

I lived in Wyoming for more than twenty years. Dick Cheney got an earful of me many times, not to mention Thomas, Cubin, Simpson. etc.
