But the main purpose of today's post (at the behest of my sister, onehappydog) is to share with you a letter my darling husband, Pan, wrote. We are of the republican persuasion, and tend to keep a low profile because, as with religion, our politics are a very personal to us. But with a little tweeking this letter can be used across the board for any platform, and maybe it should be. So without further ado, take it Pan:
To Concerned Republicans in charge of the various committee’s (Republican National Committee, National Republican Congressional Committee, etc)
Please stop wasting time, money and effort sending out moronic surveys with questions that clearly any rational Republican would answer in only one way. They are an insulting waste of resources. This time, money and effort needs to be placed in letting Americans know what Republicans plan to do to solve our economic difficulties, balance the budget, and protect American interests abroad. Simply opposing the Democrats plans at every turn is not sufficient to return the white house or congress to Republican control.
Give us a real plan for energy independence, not slipshod band-aids of more drilling, more coal. Give us a plan for a Manhattan Project effort for a hydrogen fuel economy. Get the oil companies on board by granting them stimulus for the transition, and the same for the auto industry. Create a plan for this to happen within a decade, not a hundred years when the oil has run out and we’ve bankrupted our country for what little was left. Turn us into an energy exporter and let us sell clean fuel to the world. What would happen to the funding of terrorist if oil suddenly became a pollutant that only backward countries would want to burn? Wouldn’t it be nice to tell the rest of countries at the next climate conference they aren’t doing enough, but we’ll be happy to sell them clean fuel and auto’s to do better?
If however, you feel the best effort is to continue to generate surveys, with fixed outcomes so you can proudly say to one another, yep see here we’re on the right track, please remove me from your mailing list. If the Republican Party can no longer come up with a better plan then “NO” the Republican Party is lost and it is time someone form a viable third party.
All from the man who wanted us to fund our war by allowing businesses and individuals buy ad space on the bombs we were dropping on the al qaeda instead of using taxpayer money. Somewhere many moons ago I posted that one too. Can't seem to find it though. Bug, how about you?

I say, "Hear, Hear to Pan!!" I'm so glad someone else feels this way! My plan is to vote against all incumbents. I think we need new blood because the ones in office have sold out and are watching out for their own interests and not mine!
I love it! and I linked to it!
