Rep. Garrett,

I'd like to congratulate you standing out from your peers in New Jersey. Of all the congressman from our state, you were the only one brave enough to say, "Enough protecting the environment!" You were the only one, including all the other Republicans, to vote YES to gutting the Endangered Species Act. Not only will we have less animals to bother with (who needs the American Bald Eagle anyway?), the taxpayers will have the chance to pay companies to NOT break the law! This is a great idea!!! I was thinking of robbing a liquor store in my neighborhood, but I won't do it if you give me $10,000. Don't think of it as a bribe, we'll just call it a grant, like in the bill you voted for. As a matter of fact, we should implement this genius idea all across America. It would reduce crime AND poverty! You are a shining example for every New Jersey resident. Just imagine how much children could learn from you and your selfless, fair and just approach to governing. Children need to learn that the purpose of government regulations is to take taxpayer money, give it away to businesses to NOT break the law, while making it easier for them to do so. We are all very proud to have you representing our fine state, the Garden State!

P.S.- I have to admit, I'm being sarcastic...
