<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrekowjr, post: 1007383, member: 27204&quot;]Although I may not agree with what you are saying, I sincerely appreciate anyone taking the time to voice their opinion and involve themselves by making sure that the people we vote into office are still functioning by speaking and working on our behalf.</p><p><br /></p><p>Did the congressman reply the first time you wrote a letter in regards to this issue? If he/she did not reply I would make your opening a little more harsh. If he/she did reply I would touch on their suggestions or recommendations and thank them for replying before but somehow I get the sense that they did not reply. So if it was me wanting to sound a little more harsh and critical (after first stroking their ego) I would open with something like this:</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and for representing our congressional district in a most dignified manner and for truly being a voice of our community.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an American it is important for me to always look for anything I can do to improve both the standing and economical stature of our great country globally and to improve the lives of fellow citizens domestically. As a congressman it is your responsibility to represent the people and consider all options that could enhance the way of life of all those that you and your peers represent. As a voter and concerned citizen I find it disheartening that my ideas to improve a process in the way we operate our Treasury Department may have fallen on deaf ears and that the voice we voted in to represent us may now be part of a failing branch of our government that has ceased to function in a manner our forefathers so diligently put forth to make sure that legislature continues works on behalf of &quot;We the people&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is my second attempt to discuss with you what ideas I have and to hear the ideas you and your peers have in regards to our common goal of preserving the general welfare of this country and the people that live in it. Please lift the confidence I have in both you and our government by showing me and your other constituents that our voice not only has a mouth speak but also has the ears to hear what the people have to say. All I ask is that you please take the time to read what I have to say and to simply share your views with me.</p><p><br /></p><p>&lt;I wrote this a bit abruptly at 2:40 am PST this Sunday morning, so I too apologize for the rough draft and hope this helps you Drago. Please keep me posted on any response you get from your congressperson&gt;</p><p><br /></p><p>Raul[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
