Here's a copy of the email I just sent to my repuglican representative

[nosillies]

To the Honorable Tom Feeney: (Note: this text was automatic. I could not change it to dishonorable!)

I just received your anti-immigration propaganda direct mail piece. I noticed that you are against "taxpayer subsidized tuition for illegal immigrants." I also noticed that the mailing itself, like all other Congressional mailings, was "prepared, published, and mailed at taxpayer expense."

I would like to go on record saying that I would rather pay for thousands of illegal immigrants to go to college than for one piece of paper or one cent of postage that comes out of your office. At least then I'd be investing in something worthwhile, that might possibly benefit my country and brighten someone's future.

If possible, please remove my name and address from any future mailing lists or contact lists of any kind from your office. I, for one, will never buy your crap, so keep it to yourself -- and save some taxpayer money, since that's so important to you.



So......anybody wanna guess what reply, if any, I'll get?

1. Probably another

tax-payer subsidized mass mailing "thanking you for your support" form letter.:banghead:

3. Yes, that was my guess

2. It will go something like this:

Actual response received from Evan Bayh. Edited to remove references to the flag-burning amendment which I had contacted him about.

4. Ooohhhh, thank you

As a paid writer, often of BS, I really admire the art form at its best. This is superb, and will remain in my files for future reference!

5. Good skewering of hypocrisy....

update us on the reply, it should be entertaining. My asswipe Senator Felix Allen never replies to anything I send him.
