I've just written Jimmy DeMint. I hope he reads my message carefully:
Quote:
Senator DeMint, maybe you should concentrate on fixing the massive problems that South Carolina, your constituents and the people you are responsible to serve, face. I know that health care is a big problem in SC, considering how common cancer is (the second leading cause of death). I'm also aware that you had problems with voting machines in Horry County just this last week that probably deserve your attention. Meddling in the affairs of a community on the other side of the country that has nothing to do with you or other South Carolinians is shameful politicking. If you wanted to make policies about California, you're welcome to run for Senate here.
How would you like it if Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, two very well known Senators who have done a great deal for their state, were to suddenly threaten to draft legislation about something dealing with South Carolina? I'm sure you'd be more than a little perturbed.
As you are a Southern conservative who supports the military, it's likely you're Christian, so I'll end with a Bible verse that illustrates my point: "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?" Matthew 7:3. I sincerely hope that you can serve your constituents well and work to improve your own state.
Thanks.
