Sent To The Deadbutts In Washington

Just thought you might like to see what I sent to Washington. I know it will end up in the dead letter bin, but you have to try. I will post any reply I get.

Dear Deadbutts (I didn’t include this line in the letter)

I know you have the world by the tail right now, but I don’t believe you will do anything with it. You have had the last 2 years with the dreamgirl at the helm, and have managed to screw up the nation worse than at anytime in recent history. Lucky for you it can be blamed on Bush. You don’t have to kiss my tail for a vote, I don’t vote for incumbents. But for the sake of the country, listen to what I say.

We just got a taste of how easily this country can be destroyed. I think we will recover from this current crisis, for a while. BUT, please get to work on this energy situation. Without a plan, this will happen again. Jimmy Carter made the same mistake, 30 years ago. What did you learn from that? What will Democratic Senator from Indiana 2038 learn from your actions? I predict nothing. But please prove me wrong. I know there is not a soul in Congress that has a plan. There are too many distractions to be coherent in Washington. What a bunch of deadbutts. Sorry, I will try to behave. Since there is not a functioning brain in Washington, look outside.

Start with Picken’s Plan. It makes good sense. Do what is right for America NOW. Drill, Wind, Solar, Nuclear, and most of all, increase infrastructure in natural gas. I don’t pretend to know what sort of games you are currently playing with all the bailouts, but why not put some money into making energy the last worry America has? Encourage the development of more efficient solar cells. Support the addition of many more wind generators. Support something we have never thought of, but the 12 year old down the street will invent. Show some vision. Be a Senator we could get behind.

If you want to know my views on why I believe America should prosper, I will be glad to share them with you. If you ever get the time to interact with real America, I will be glad to contribute. But for now, Please Don’t Forget What $4 per Gallon Gasoline Felt Like.

Sincerely and because I love America,

Duke Green
