I wrote this to my representatives.

I changed some of the messages to fit the person, but is essence: (what do you think?)

Some issue that concern me:

Voting should not be privatized. Please just get rid of the black box voting machines. The job you save may be your own. Private corporations are collecting, tabulating and summarizing our votes. The source codes are kept private-they can't be properly audited. They can be hacked.

NO PRIVATIZATION OF OUR VOTES!!!!!

Voter fraud is a fraud-it's ELECTION fraud that is going on. The 2004 election was stolen from Kerry. Also I want this administration to be investigated for using caging list-I am outraged at this situation.

The Scooter Libby deal is disgusting. There was TREASON going on, and I think many people died because of it (Brewster Jennings company). This investigation should be far from over-the president, the vice-president, and Albert Gonzales needs to investigated by an objective party, because it is looking like they are obstructing justice too. They are spying on Americans, and can you say they aren't spying on you for political purposes? INVESTIGATE.

Why not present a bill for publicly funded elections? Since the SCOTUS just made it OK for big corporations (corporations are NOT people) to pour money into elections, it will be even worse. Wouldn't it be nice to not have to fund raise? Then you would be beholden to the people you are supposed to represent.

Why are we paying for private contractors in Iraq-at a larger cost? Who do they answer to? Who is overseeing these no bid contracts? Cheney has made a bundle. Where is all of our money (9 billion plus)? This is cronyism, not fair trade. Why are unqualified people being placed strategically for a one party takeover? Why do we have to have our National Guard leave us vulnerable and they take our equipment too. Why was Blackwater in New Orleans pointing guns at US citizens instead of helping? Why didn't local people in New Orleans help with reconstruction, instead of layers of inept contractors?

The "benchmarks" that Bush and congress keep talking about is really just stealing the Iraqi peoples' oil. They are going to lose 80% of their oil to big oil companies-why? Why do we have to pay for that embassy in Iraq that is bigger than the Vatican?

Why are we privatizing our country? Roads, ports, water rights-I have to pay very close attention anymore-this president is robbing us and losing billions from ineptitude and incompetence. Why are we paying oil companies when they are making record profits?

This war needs to end now. Make a law prohibiting profit off of wars, and it will end tomorrow.

The middle class needs to be protected. I voted for you, and I expect you to help us.

We need fair trade, even tariffs-other countries do it to us. The lower cost for products, cheaper labor and no taxes does not equal cheaper cost to us. Too many companies are leaving because they are financially encouraged to. Don't we have laws against monopolies? We have the rise of robber barrons, and the demise of the middle class.

I want to Internet to be free of interference. Maybe it could just be free for everyone. Couldn't we get one break? If we the people own the airwaves, and some of the commons, why are we getting the short end of every deal? The media is just a propaganda machine.

We want the environment protected, and research funded for alternative fuels (not coal or nuclear). Al Gore had a good plan-CO2 taxes. I love it. We, the citizens of the USA are struggling. Everything has gone up. My wages haven't for 2 years (I am a professional).

Please stand up for your Democratic constituents.

PS I want this criminal administration investigated then impeached immediately. With the help of the SCOTUS, we had a bloodless coup-this president is illegal.
