Mr. Cuccinelli,
On behalf of my wife and myself, I would like to thank you most sincerely for being one of Virginia's only elected officials willing to stand up for the people of VA. concerning the insanity that has been coming from Washington D.C. (Rep's & Dem's)
Please Sir, I encourage you to continue your battle and know that when you stand for our Constitution, we will stand for and with you.
Sincerely,

What I find most offensive about this whole ordeal is that they used healthcare, one of the most important issues to us as Americans, and used it as a vehicle to violate the Constitution while bailing out an insolvent insurance industry.

Bitching and moaning about the fed takeover is not going to get it. Letter writing campaigns to elected officials aren't going to get it neither.
What is going to get it is a massive change in the mentality of the American citizen. The same kind of change that brought this great nation into existance 234 years ago.
Who's up for this kind of change? I'm for one. Who's with me?

I at least have contacted every one of my representatives to let them know how I as a citizen in their district or state feel about what they're doing and how I will vote for them based on their decisions.
5 o'clock, I don't have any intention of irritating you. I don't have any idea of how old you are but that's besides the point. What I'm trying to convey here is that letter writing doesn't do anything to correct the situation that we've presently got in Washington DC. Any letter that gets to any representative is merely chosen out of the tens of thousands for its uniqueness. If you were answered it was because their aides replied to you. Believe me. In years past, I've written my representatives on several different issues and although these elected officials often agreed with me, the things that they're up against in Washington are factors that are too powerful for several representatives and senators to handle.
Really! What have you done beside talking??? The only reason I wanted to get this post and info. on ATS was to get people to support their State A. General to stand up for the people and we will stand up/with them
Like I said, I don't have any intention of arguing your point here. I'd rather not discuss what I'm doing "beside talking." Let me point out that "talking" is a way of communication. A means of communication that's been around since humans first started talking. Talking transfers ideas from one person to another.Talking transfers ideas whether one is listening or a thousand is listening. I'm in no way saying that your method is not working. Letter writing campaigns are good but first one must have support of the common people before you have the support of officials. That's the "only reason" you posted is it not?
Fight lawyers w/ lawyers..
This is the only thing that I'll argue about. Lawyers don't give one damn about anyone except their pockets. Listen to me, lawyers do not give one damn about you or me. Not when it comes to what this threads about and this thread is about replacing the socialists that's been elected to represent us is it not?
Plus, what's the difference between a dead dog in the road and a dead lawyer in the road?
Answer: The dead dog has skid marks in front of it.
Don't get me wrong. What you're doing is not a bad thing (letter writing). I just refuse to believe that politicians care about what we put down on paper. It's my belief that they care about angry citizens coming at them phsically in droves.
And please, next time, don't yell at me. It will be greatly appreciated and good luck to your cause.
P.S. I've done plenty in my life and still doing so. I've come to find out when one speaks to a brick wall, that's all they're doing.
