The form that it allowed me to fill out had a static 'honorable Mike Simpson' preceeding the text field that allowed me to enter my comments.  I wrote this:
-----------------------
Can I remove the 'Honorable' that preceeds your name from this letter?  Because I surely do not honor anything about your recent voting habits.
I am DISGUSTED.  Disgusted with the measures the government has taken to withdraw power from the people and place it squarely in the hands of corrupt politicians.
I have written you twice about being very saddened by your voting FOR this ...  hmmm..  what should we call this obscene bill now?  Cause it isn't a mortgage bailout bill.  It isn't an economic recovery bill.  It isn't a bank bailout bill.
oh - I know.  Lets call it the 'Government at will' bill.  That has a nice ring to it.  Because really, you voted to give the government $700 BILLION taxpayers dollars FOR WHAT!?!?!??  They don't know - nobody knows because the government is just doing whatever the $*&@ they want with it!  
THIS is what you voted for?  THIS!!!!
I voted against you.  I have no idea who I voted for but I voted against you.
Now the government wants to pay health care for the auto industry.  What about MY health care - are you going to pay for mine?  naw - you're probably too busy making backdoor deals with the auto industry - or the banking system - or, heck - probably working directly with satan!
So - after all that - I'll sum it up with this:
Please.  Represent me.  Stop representing yourself and the big business that is greasing your palm.
Represent me.  Do something - ANYTHING - to make the people you pose to represent, proud of you.
- Johnathan
-----------------------
No, you don't have to be so explicit, so mean, so anything.  But Please whatever you want to say - contact your representative today.
