Sent To Rep. Eric Cantor Today

As a senior citizen, combat veteran, attorney and resident of your District, I am disgusted and angry that you persist in leading an unjustifiable obstruction to reasoned governance. 

I see the Senate bill that you are considering today as a step in the direction of improving the confidence of the markets, the businesses, the citizens and the world in the ability of our Democracy to govern itself.  Neither "side" is celebrating the substance of the Senate Bill but the people in the District that you represent deserve to feel that YOU can compromise for the general welfare.  The ideological golems and sycophants they seduce are far outnumbered by the working and middle class in our District.  The 41% who voted against you this last time will, I assure you, grow in ranks unless you show that you understand your responsibility to ALL.  And I will work vigorously to see you defeated if you do not.

As a long-time "Independent" I have been pushed to the Left increasingly over the last three years by histrionic lies, distortions and ideological obstructionism that you either fostered or silently countenanced.  I hope for, no, I demand your enlightenment to your approach to governing and your re-assessment of the relative value to this District and to our Democracy of your own personal political ambition.
