Reply #26: My letter to Senator Durbin

[laylah]

Senator Durbin,

I held out hope through the Roberts and Alito dog and pony shows, through the sham Congressional hearing on illegal wiretapping, to Cheney shooting a 78 year old man in the face. Not once have you or your fellow Senators even attempted to use that "dry powder" Sentor Reed so loudly touted, to protect WE, the People, from the spread of facism. I have no doubt it will not be any different with the UAE taking over OUR ports. I have finally determined, with the exceptions of Feingold, Byrd, and Jeffords, there is no spine left in the Democrats in Congress and WE, the People, are on our own.

Now with your vote in favor of the extension of the Patriot Act, I must inform you that I will not be voting for you in November. You, and most other Democrats in Congress, have sold us down the river. Most of you have cared only for appearances and have allowed the majority thugs to bully this once great country into a reviled country here, and around the world. The Democratic Party of my parents', grandparents' and great-grandparents' no longer exists! With the rare exception, there is not one of you that will stand up for what is right!

Shame on all of you!
