Personal Attack on a Constituent - Me

On Tuesday of this week, a response letter was printed in all the same papers - from my congressman's press secretary. The letter is directed at me. It questions my intelligence and the headline says that he's disappointed with me, the letter writer.

I don't know why you're surprised. The same thing happens to everybody that questions the Republican party, from Press Secretaries to decorated Generals. If you had a more public profile you'd probably get the full treatment with a 3 hour Limbaugh rant about how you're secretly a baby eating commie. SOP for the GOP.

Should have posted this as a "Friend"

How does this have so many flags when it has absolutely no "meat" or "teeth"?

It's not that I have anything against anyone on ATS, but this forum shows up in search engines and I don't want it showing up when someone does a search of my real name on Google, Yahoo, etc. Think about it, lets say I ever did want to run for congress, do I really want posts about aliens, demons, ghosts, concentration camps, etc, attached to my name? LOLOL

As I said above, anyone wanting to read the letters, send me a U2U and I'll send the links to you. Just don't post the links in a thread please and don't directly quote from the letters. That's all I ask.

oh come on did you really have to bring reason into this??

and if she'll follow our advice and actually run for office just think of all her ATS posts that will be sifted through both by journalists and her opponents

she'll get more scrutiny than a supreme court justice!

Um, exactly!

you do of course realize that anything you post online is there forever and will be associated with your name if you ever get to run for elected office or some other important position.

my IP hasnt changed in the past few months since i'm on ATS and i'm sure anyone could find out my name and address by doing a few lookups... unless you're using some very smart proxy system (and even with that) they will know who you are. there is no hope for online privacy ever!

Yeah, not that big of a deal. My name is all over the internet anyway because I have an online business and have had a lot of newspaper/radio/tv press from my business. I'm also involved in local politics, so my name is all over with that respect as well.

Had a nice surprise tonight - one of my tea partiers sent a letter to the editor in support of me and my first letter. Also received a nice note today from one of the state legislators that I know. He called me "a brave example to many" and told me to continue to stick to the facts as I have been doing, and the personal attacks on me will not hold any water. He's fairly libertarian, but he is a Republican. I've also had the state president of republican women tell me she is going to write a letter to my congressman to chastise them for attacking me, and that she agrees with me and my letters. So, amazingly, aside from the congressman and their staff, a lot of republicans have told me, "way to go and keep it up" and they're cheering me on.

Did I mention that I'm a delegate to the National Federation of Republican Women, national convention and also to the state convention? I am a Republican that wants to change the Republican party and kick the RINOS to the curb.

You go girl, just remember that it's not about you....it's about your cause. That is how we got into the corrupt situation of government that we have today.....the BASTARDS think it is all about them and have forgotten the people. Today the TEA PARTY....tommorrow the REAL ACTION. Words can only go so far....WANTED: 1,000,000 people to publicly denounce the ILLEGAL IRS & FEDERAL RESERVE, march on DC and demand our right to redress. Now we're talking.......

Yeah people tend to get offended when You threaten their cash cow. If this man was honest and genuine He wouldn't get offended if You point out the facts so more than likely he is looking out for his interests and his interests alone.
