Letter to Senator Alexander and Senator Corker

We're stuck in a war with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving. We're running the biggest deficit in the history of the country. We're losing the manufacturing edge to Asia, and our once-great Companies are all moving offshore. We're getting slaughtered by health care costs. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and nobody in power has a coherent energy policy. Our schools are the worst in the world. Our borders are like sieves. The middle class is being squeezed every which way.

We didn't elect you to sit on your ass and do nothing and remain silent while our democracy is being hijacked and our greatness is being replaced with mediocrity.

Are the Senate and House full of morons? Who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo? We've spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened. Apparently you do not!

Who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Apparently you are not!

Who can articulate a plan for paying down the debt, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem? Apparently you cannot!

DO SOMETHING!!! Or give up your seat to someone who will.

I will appreciate a response outlining what you personally are doing to address these issues.
