> Dear Senators:
> I have tried to live by the rules my entire life. My father was a Command
> Sergeant Major, U.S. Army, who died of combat related stresses shortly
> after his retirement. It was he who instilled in me those virtues he felt
> important -- honesty, duty, patriotism and obeying the laws of God and of
> our various governments. I have served my country, paid my taxes, worked
> hard, volunteered and donated my fair share of money, time and artifacts.
> >
> Today, as I approach my 79th birthday, I am heart-broken when I look at my
> country and my government. I shall only point out a very few things
> abysmally wrong which you can multiply by a thousand fold. *I have calculated that
> all the money I have paid in income taxes my entire life cannot even keep the
> Senate barbershop open for one year! Only Heaven and a few tight-lipped
> actuarial types know what the Senate dining room costs the taxpayers.
> So please, enjoy your haircuts and meals on us.*
>
> Last year, the president spent an estimated $1.4 billion on himself and his
> family. The vice president spends $ millions on hotels. They have had eight (8)
> vacations so far this year! And our House of Representatives and Senate
> have become America's answer to the Saudi royal family. You have become the
> "perfumed princes and princesses" of our country.
>
> In the middle of the night, you voted in the Affordable Health Care Act,
> a.k.a. "Obamacare," a bill which no more than a handful of senators or
> representatives read more than several paragraphs, crammed it down our
> throats, and then promptly exempted yourselves from it substituting your
> own taxpayer-subsidized golden health care insurance. (Let's eliminate that
> exemption and put the Congress under the Affordable Health Care Act)
>
> You live exceedingly well, eat and drink as well as the "one percenters;"
> consistently vote yourselves perks and pay raises while making 3.5 times
> the average U.S. individual income; and give up nothing while you (as well
> as the president and veep) ask us to sacrifice due to sequestration (for
> which, of course, you plan to blame the Republicans, anyway).*
> >
> You understand very well the only two rules you need to know - (1) How to
> get elected, and (2) How to get re-elected. And you do this with the aid of
> an eagerly willing and partisan press, speeches permeated with a certain
> economy of truth, and by buying the votes of the greedy, the ill-informed
> and under-educated citizens (and non-citizens, too, many of whom *do* vote)
> who are looking for a handout rather than a job. Your so-called "safety net"
> has become a hammock for the lazy.* And, what is it now, about 49 or

> I would offer that you are not entirely to blame. What changed you is the
