Dear Senators

I recently wrote you a letter urging you to vote for Senate bill 1738. Thanks to some friends, it was brought to my attention that 1)this is a bogus bill full of a bunch of extra SH!# about chimpanzees and 2)this is all about the current presidential campaign and who's gonna get the glory, Barack Obama or John McCain. I should have known Oprah was up to something. Obama wants 1738 to pass with his big fat name smeared all over it. And McCain wants his big fat name smeared all over Senate bill 3344--which is supposedly a revision to 1738 minus the junk. What I want to know is how did y'all get so self-centered, selfish, slimey and pig-headed? And I would also like to know how you are going to feel one of these days when you come face to face with a little girl who was raped and molested and tortured because you couldn't get over yourself and pass a bill as simple as 1738 without throwing in something like monkeys? And I'm also wondering how things like the mating habits of snow crabs in Alaska or bailing out Freddie and Fannie are more important than our children's lives? Y'all suck and I have no idea who I'm going to vote for come November 4th. Maybe I'll vote for Flint Waters. He seems concerned about our children and their welfare. Or maybe I'll vote for myself and I'll make Flint V.P. Then I'll give all of us Moms guns and V.P. Waters will give us the addresses of all the Pedophiles and we'll take care of this problem once and for all, real quick like. And then, y'all will be out of a job because you won't have anything to sit around in Senate, scratching your balls over.

Sincerely,

One Very Disgusted Mother

While I share your frustration with the partisan in-fighting, I have to disagree with your assessment of bill 1738 as 'bogus'. While is has been bundled with approximately 35 other uncontroversial bills (only one of which has to do with monkeys), the legislation it is asking for is needed and less expensive than bill 3344. It's Senator Coburn--a Republican with a reputation for tying up the senate (his nickname is Dr. No)--who is blocking this non-partisan legislation sponsored by Orrin Hatch (R) of Utah, no less. Also, FYI--it is common for several bills to be bundled together, especially when facing a lot of partisan opposition--Republicans and Democrats do ti.

Yes, yes, I agree with Chris. This happens all the time. And just because a bill is bundled with others does not make it unimportant. I think it is important. Just because politicians make it about elections and politics, doesn't make it less vital to pass this bill to support funding for this cause.
