I am afraid to voice my opinion to any of my Republican Representatives in congress

[katmondoo]

because I fear some kind of retaliation for any criticism that I express. As a Democrat the list is long. This is Florida they hold the cards. I can sign petitions or express myself through organizations but never on a one to one basis.

1. Lived here in TX 6 years and often write letters to the idiot Ted Poe

who "represents" my district. They have yet to retaliate. Do it.

2. Why would you fear retaliation?

The worst that you'll experience is being ignored.

[MineralMan]

3. I think you're afraid of something that will not happen.

What will happen is that your opinions will be disregarded. I would advise not threatening any legislator, though, if that's what you had in mind.

4. Fuck em, time for them to be afraid of us.

[branford]

5. What exactly are you suggesting?

If you mean lawful and peaceful political activism, and seeking to elect more liberal Democrats to office, you'd have my full support.

If you mean threatening elected officials with violence, no less actually engaging in violence or destruction, because you disagree with them, you would be a criminal. I would want nothing to do with you.

[clydefrand]

6. Why, oh why, would you be afraid to criticise

people who DON'T DO NUTHIN? They are going to retaliate against a just 'someone'!

[irisblue]

7. They will not kill your beloveds or you.

Why are you concerned, do you have evidence of the R Reps hurting some one?

[spanone]

8. you'd get a form letter thanking you for your comments blah blah blah

they don't care enough to retaliate.....

[Vincardog]

9. Call them write them and visit their offices. I do and the worse that happens is I get an

Incoherent letter explaining their idiotic positions.

I feel for you but with representatives like King and Grassley
I can't believe you have it worse than me.
