Dear Senator Warner/Webb,

BAD LEGISLATION DESERVES TO BE KILLED, NOT GIVEN A SECOND CHANCE! More and more Virginians are wising up to how you help speed bad legislation through to the president, most likely without even reading it. I have noticed a common tactic of the Congress, namely replacing troubled pieces of legislation (in this case Cap-and-Tax and Health Care Reform) with scaled-down substitutes of the same. I have observed that Members of Congress often support and pass replacement bills “to keep the process alive.” Frequently, in House-Senate conference committees, you re-insert the bad provisions and then you bring the equally bad bill up for a final vote. This whole process buys you time to push for more government takeover.

Please don’t try to tell me that Cap-and-Tax and Health Care Reform are yet another “emergency” that must be acted on now…that doesn’t wash anymore. It is increasingly clear that you are NOT OUR REPRESENTATIVE; rather you are THE LOBBYIST’S REPRESENTATIVE. Cap-and Tax, and Health Care Reform are NOT EMERGENCIES that require immediate action by Congress. WHY ARE YOU COMPLICIT IN KILLING OUR ECONOMY? You already supported TARP, a massive deficit busting budget, and a not-so-stimulating “Stimulus Bill!” If these pieces of legislation, in ANY resemblance to their current form, are brought up for votes I expect you to VOTE “NO;” to vote otherwise will most likely cost you your Senate seat.

Concerned Virginian,

G-Man
