Are you upset with your state senator?

Question

I am very upset with my Senator who voted for the Dream Act, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas. The majority of the people said No and she voted against us. or she voted for cloture, which means to bring it to the floor again. Doesn't No mean No?

She says she will be leaving her term early, I think so has hopes of running for Governor. I just hope all Texans remember she voted for the Mexican trucks to freely drive on our roads and also this Dream Act which has been voted down 3-4 times now.

Answer 1

Yes, I am represented by Feinstein and Boxer out here in CA who are hell-bent on granting amnesty and giving this country away to illegals and providing them with every free service possible.

Since I know I cannot change their socialist minds, I decided I better get in on the ground floor of this amnesty thing.

Thats why I sent them the following letter:

Dear Senator Feinstein/Boxer ,

As a native citizen of the United States and excellent customer of the Internal Revenue Service, I am writing to ask for your assistance. I have contacted the Department of Homeland Security in an effort to determine the process for becoming an illegal alien and they referred me to you

My primary reason for wishing to change my status from U.S. Citizen to illegal alien stem from the bill which was recently passed by the Senate and for which you voted.

If my understanding of this bill's provisions is accurate, as an illegal alien who has been in the United States for five years, all I need to do to become a citizen is to pay a $2,000 fine and income taxes for three of the last five years. I know a good deal when I see one and I am anxious to get the process started before everyone figures it out.

Simply put, those of us who have been here legally have had to pay taxes every year so I'm excited about the prospect of avoiding two years of taxes in return for paying a $2,000 fine. Is there any way that I can apply to be illegal retroactively? This would yield an excellent result for my family and me because we paid heavy taxes in 2004 and 2005.

Additionally, as an illegal alien I could begin using the local emergency room as my primary health care provider. Once I have stopped paying premiums for medical insurance, my accountant figures I could save almost $10,000 a year Another benefit in gaining illegal status would be that my daughter would receive preferential treatment relative to her law school
applications, as well as "in-state" tuition rates for many colleges throughout the United States for my son.

Lastly, I understand that illegal status would relieve me of the burden of renewing my driver's license and making those burdensome car insurance premiums. This is very important to me given that I still have college age children driving my car.

If you would provide me with an outline of the process to become illegal (retroactively if possible) and copies of the necessary forms, I would be most appreciative.

Thank you for your assistance.

Your Loyal Constituent,


I am still waiting for a response...

Answer 2

Yes I am. My state senator is too obstinate to even recognize global warming poses a real threat - even after th IPCC, National Academy of Sciences, EPA, some states (CA and NJ come to mind, and some energy-dependent companies (Duke Power for instance) have determine the threat very serious. Inholf is totally in the back pocket of the oil and gas industry where he can kiss their butt if they feel the need for lovin!

He had a "skeptical scientist" (a climatologist) from OU to come to the capitol and totally embarrassed the poor guy with his lack of understanding. This poor guy was arguing that maybe not ALL of the change is man-made, maybe there is some natural variation. That I'm sure is true, but this doesn't mean that we shouldn't try to reduce what we can control to slow change down to give us time to adjust. Inholf claimed it was a hoax, and this poor guy's argument backs him up!

However, deciding exactly the actions to take to balance the economic problems with the potential consequences of climate change is tough. You can't really expect politicians to figure it out. I think many businesses are now moving to control what they can.

Answer 3

I am not. Saxby Chambliss help introduce that last immigration bill. When over 80% of his citizens wrote to him and asked him to vote against it, he did. He voted against his own bill because the people spoke. That is what I call good representation and I will gladly vote for his re-election in 2008. We need more like him in the US Senate.

Answer 4

Yes I am upset--to put it nicely. But they will not respond to my letters; are too arrogant to actually take a phone call; and basically do not care about me because I am not a 4 figure donor.

You see no means no; unless the 'big donors' say yes than no from the other 99% of us means yes. Understand the calculus to this equation?

Answer 5

i discover no fault with Senator Clinton's feedback. in spite of the undeniable fact that, i'm lower back surprised that applicants who might otherwise have some valid comments to make contributions to the nationwide debate pounce on something Senator Clinton says. i've got confidence at this component if she introduced that "I surely have desperate that the solar looks to return up in the East." Governor Richardson might say "the data are actually not properly popular on that subject yet"…Senator Biden might say "for the main area I accept as true with Hillary"…former Senator Edwards might say "i've got confidence the certainty of the difficulty is it comes up in the Southeast"…Senator Obama might say "what did she say?"…former Senator Gravel might say "it relatively is a conspiracy" and the Republicans might chuckle all a thank you to the White domicile. human beings, human beings, human beings! that's the neo-cons of the Republican occasion that further us to the place we are! can we save our eyes on the ball? we want a Democratic President, AND a Democratic Congress.

Answer 6

Well at least others had the sense to vote against it!

Answer 7
