I just received Chris Shays' last "e-newsletter".
November 21, 2008
Dear Friend:
I am sending this last e-newsletter to express my heartfelt appreciation for the opportunity to serve you and other residents of the Fourth Congressional District for the past 21 years as your representative in Washington.
You and your neighbors have helped educate and guide me through letters, e-mails, calls, office hours, visits, individual conversations and community meetings.
Really? If we have guided Chris Shays, why did he persist for so long against the wishes of his constituents to push for America to invade Iraq? And why, when his constituents were pushing him through "letters, e-mails, calls, " etc. to stop supporting the war, did he continue to support Bush's disastrous war?
The incredible wealth of knowledge you have shared with me has enriched my life and helped make me a better member of Congress.
While this is the last e-newsletter we are sending you because we are required to move out of our Washington office by November 21, I look forward to our paths crossing again soon. All the best.
Christopher Shays
Member of Congress
Before you go, Mr. Shays, please tell us once and for all that you are sorry for helping to send so many young Americans to their deaths in the sands of Iraq. Please tell us that you're sorry for your hypocrisy in saving yourself as a conscientious objector, while sending others to fight. Please tell us now that you are sorry that you pushed for so many years to privatize Social Security when your constituents were telling you for so many years not to do it.
Goodbye, Mr. Shays. You will not be missed. |
