Open Blog To Congress

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The time has come to admit that each and almost every one of you have failed in your duties as public servants. The American people, and the republic of the United States of America, are no longer your priorities. You have instead adopted a global view with regard to foreign and domestic affairs. This present course of executive, legislative and judicial momentum will result in the destruction of our nation and its inclusion in a planetary system of governance in which we the people will have little – if any – representation. Are you so insulated and ensconced in your offices that you rest assured in the knowledge that future generations of your own progeny are insured against the damage you wrought?

Since our founding, the republic has been a warring nation with the carrot of peace dangling just out of reach. Since the hijackings in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania, that carrot has been removed from public discourse. The question now is, where we shall next deploy our military might? To make matters worse, our wagon is hitched to a nation on the other side of the globe, as excruciatingly obvious from the 2012 presidential candidate debates and by the constant reminders from its lobbying influences. Recently a news editor affiliated with Israel suggested that the assassination of our president has been under consideration. What was our response? We let the man apologize and resign. (Of course, you may claim that due to National Security, you cannot discuss what the actual ramifications were. You must think us fools to believe that some terrorist threats are deserving of headline news, executive pronouncements, legislative action, and judicial restraint and others are not.)

As to September 11, 2001, what has been done to correct the system that permitted 19 box-cutter-armed, US flight-trained men to get away with hijacking FOUR commercial airliners over the course of an hour? Why have there been no indictments, courts martial, or public hearings of those responsible for this defense failure? Rather than examining internal problems, you voted to attack a foreign nation that was not involved; later citing poor intelligence as an excuse for that fiasco. A faulty defense system and an incompetent intelligence complex are exposed and still you vote to continue attacking terrorists across the globe at the expense of our national blood and treasury.. One mistake after the other, in the wake of which trillions are spent and millions are dead, maimed and homeless, including women and children and our own soldiers.

Also rather than examining the defense and intelligence shortcomings, you instituted legislation curtailing the liberty and freedom of US citizens. Oppressive, silencing and dehumanizing measures which you yourselves need not endure. (Fire up the jet and get the congressperson some champagne for the trip back to inform family which contracts are coming down the pike and which investments must be made!)

Speaking of voting, how can you possibly justify passing a resolution to NOT engage in diplomatic negotiations with Iran? Have we discarded all notions of being a civilized people? (One viewing of a American broadcast television show wherein two “bitches” exchange saliva might incline one to respond in the positive. Yet another example of government blindness to common decency.)

As you effect great national divides before the great global conquering, it might be worth considering this: Are you immune to the legislative ramifications inflicted upon the ones who dust your desk, clean your toilet, build your pool house, service your limo, prepare your martinis, coif your tresses and keep your own children out of them?
