A rant, forgive me

[Idaho]

For years I believed in conservative principles and bought into the idea that we needed to help fight Liberal Democrats who were ready to take away real Constitutional rights; free speech, firearms, freedom of religion and assembly. When the Republican Party sent questionnaires about what I was concerned with I dutifully answered them and, when I could, included a check for a few bucks to help fight the good fight. I knew that I was doing what I could to help make a difference.

Well now, I ask myself, what have I/we gotten for my dutiful support? Illegal Immigrants out the wazzo, four dollar a gallon gasoline, a liberal RINO for a REPUBLICAN Presidential nominee, total chaos in immigration policy and outright disdain for our country’s laws. No new refineries, an out of control energy policy that burns the worlds corn supply so that we can think that we have cleaner air. A policy that blames us for world temperature rise totally ignoring the fact that China is many times our size and pollutes the earths atmosphere an order of magnitude more than we ever hoped to. Politicians and judges who believe that we exhale pollution (CO2) and more finger pointing than I ever thought possible. Everyone else is clearly to blame and there is not a bit of difference between the lot of them. Republicans and Democrats are all the same. They want elected and don’t give a damn about us poor schmucks paying through the teeth to support our families.

What can I do? I can vote against my own idiot politicians who don’t have the spine to stand up and defend this Country but my one vote does nothing. Too many of my fellow Americans think the problem is some one else’ Representative or Senator or the other parties President and they all keep voting for the same pack of idiots.

Hmmmm.. The RNC and the state and county Republican party keep sending me the same lame questionnaires with the same stupid questions that they already know the answers to and refuse to act upon. What do I care about? Illegal Immigration? Abortion? High Taxes? Gun control? Support for the military? Terrorism? Liberal Judges? All they want is my check!. There is no doubt that they do not read or care about my answers because I answered the same questions for 25 years and nothing ever changes. They cash the checks and prepare the next “Please help us defeat so and so” letter with another request for more money.

No more.

I have started using a Sharpie to write my thoughts across their letters.

“Build a fence, a big one. Drill for oil, everywhere. Fight terrorism. Listen to their phone calls. Waterboard with my blessings. Build refineries. Lower taxes. Support the military. Deport illegals. Imprison people who employ them. Stop asking me for more money, you already steal me blind with the IRS.” Then I fold the letter and put it back in the stamped-self addressed envelope that they supply and lick it shut. Then on the outside I pen a note thanking them for the postage totally ignoring their plea for me to use my own first class postage to help them “fight the good fight”. Jerks.

So, my fellow frustrated-taxed-tired but hopefully still proud Americans I encourage you all to do the same. You can’t vote these clods out of office. The only thing they care about is our money. They steal it from us in the form of taxes, fees, fines and assessments and they still come around with their hand out wanting more and then giving it away to buy votes for themselves. If you are as sick of this as I am then stop sending them money. Start writing your own frustration across their lame solicitations and use their postage to send it back to them. If enough of us do this then maybe we will finally get their attention and maybe we can get our Country back before it is too late. Remember they only care about your money and how to get it.
