An open letter to the elected employees in Washington:
Dear Employee,
You have been entrusted with one of the highest responsibilities in the United States of America: helping to provide for and protect the safety and solvency of this nation. With that responsibility comes amenities, resources, access and income that the average citizen can hardly imagine.
While in this position of responsibility you will build the legacy by which you will be remembered.
In the end you cannot pass the trappings of your office to friends and family - that will not be part of your legacy. The acquaintances and accesses you have created while in office will fade as quickly as your departure from office and its responsibilities; these will also not be part of your legacy. Financial gain may occur, hopefully as reward for transparent and honest accomplishment, but it will be relegated to family and charity and not part of the legacy to the nation you served.
Your legacy, which you create, is determined by how you execute your responsibilities to "We the People." Your legacy will be framed by and molded within alliances you create in the process of dispatching your responsibilities to the United States of America. Your legacy will be measured by the financial and physical safety you create and maintain for we the average citizen as well as for your children and grandchildren. Your good legacy will be based on what we perceive as valuable and necessary to maintain the freedoms and liberty that created American exceptionalism.
You are a steward of this country and "We the people." You are a steward of the Constitution of the United States. You are a steward of the freedoms and liberties won for "We the People" by generations from our founding fathers to the present day.
As one of "We the People" I am listing for you the items that are creating your legacy:
The high debt and taxation for generations to come.
Cap & Trade legislation that destroys capitalism and initiative.
Establishing of a government run healthcare system that the vast majority of us do not want.
Failure to protect our borders.
Failure to maintain relationships with our international partners.
Establishing a bureaucratic structure of czars to avoid congressional oversight.
Intent to use a racially biased and legally questionable group of organizations to administer the census.
Adding language or additions to bills with no time to be reviewed.
Obviously politically motivated dismissal of inspection and oversight individuals.
Government and union ownership of GM and Chrysler.
An obvious disregard for the wishes of "We the People."
This is not the type of stewardship "We the People" want. It is time for you to think of your legacy because "We the People" are coming to a voting booth with your name in it.
