Simple Math for the Simpletons

Just filled my tank... Let's see, I make nine dollars an hour. Multiply that times eight hours a day. Hmmm, that's seventy two dollars a day which is exactly what I put in my tank. Gee, I just spent a day's wages filling the tank so I can go to work for two weeks, so one tenth of my wages is lining the pocket of some foreigner because my government refuses to drill for oil in my country.

Note to self...
If drilling for oil, our oil not Brazil's, is not on the ticket of the candidate, regardless of his/her political persuasion, he/she is causing the destruction of our country.

I wonder if anyone important ever listens... Naah, if they had been we wouldn't be fourteen plus trillion in debt and waiting for the Obamacare axe to fall.

Sent to Sen's Rubio and Nelson, Rep. Ros-Lehtinen, and Mr. Obama.

Let's See If They Are Listening...

Congresswoman Ros-Lehtinen,
I read this morning you Republicans in Congress are giving away "your ace in the hole". I wish I was amazed at your lack of spine but in recent years you have turned into a bowl of mush when it comes to standing up to the people who have ratcheted up the speed at which our once great country becomes a big Venezuela. You in Congress have lost your way. Your job is to limit government so we the people have the freedom to pursue our goals as best we can. Instead, you have limited our freedom and in doing so have ensured the ever increasing size of government as you control our every move. It is truly time for you to go.

But I digress. As you work for me, for a little while longer anyway, do not let the Democrats take you down the same road again! If you really do not have a plan B then may I suggest presenting a budget just for next year with no more than the 2008 amount. This may show your constituents you are actually not a Democrat with a different hat.

Finally, if you re-grow your skeletal support, go into default when the Dems refuse your budget. If nothing else it will get your credit rating down and then maybe I can make some money from the money I have saved living within my means.

Sincerely but not so respectfully anymore,
Edward Rodda

Another Assault on the Second Ammendment

Congresswoman Adams,
As you are directly involved with H.R. 308 and whether or not it reaches the floor please accept my humble input. As a military veteran I can say unequivocally I never went into a hostile environment with half a ship full of shells and missiles or a half full torpedo room, yes I was both a surface and submarine sailor. In this case the hostile environment comes to us in our homes and places of business. Do not allow this law to reach the floor. You will be not restricting a criminal's ability to acquire large capacity magazines but you will restrict my ability to protect my family by removing weapons from use or preventing them to be used to their fullest potential.

As a member of the House Judiciary Committee you have the ability to stand up for the law abiding citizens of your state. Please do so!

Just a footnote, as a member of Congress could you please present a bill to close down the federally run gated communities and turn them back into prisons? Some would think we are providing criminals with a comfortable respite between crimes. And as an added bonus the criminal may think twice before committing multiple crimes.

Respectfully,
Edward Rodda
