Your attention, Congresscritters!

Letter to the editor:

The all-purpose letter to politicians

You promised clean government.

The people believed you, elected you and sent you to Congress.

When you got to Washington, the nice people there took you to seminars and dinners and speeches and you were taught that everything is not all that simple.

You were taught that you have to go along to get along, and that the more in debt we are, the richer we are.

You knew (and you still know) that this is a bunch of baloney. But you were with people who were used to spending the people's money like it was something nasty to get rid of.

Now the crew of you has bankrupted us. What will you do for an encore? For that matter, what can you do to keep the country afloat for a few more days?

I suggest, if it is not already eternally too late, that you read the Constitution and obey it and encourage others to obey it.

I suggest, if it is not already eternally too late, that you impeach the most spendthrift Members of Congress.

I suggest that you write your own bills, limit them to a single subject and cite whatever clause of the Constitution that authorizes that bill.

Then, on the other hand, it might be too late anyway.
