Attention on deck, the Speaker speaks
August 8, 2011

Adress and all that crap

Dear Mrs. ****:


Thank you for taking the time to contact me. It's good to hear from you.

Your ideas, comments, and questions help make possible my goal of leading a House of Representatives that listens and reflects the will of the American people. That's why I'd like to ask you to keep speaking out by:

Visiting Speaker.gov to sign up for email updates on issues that concern you;
Offering your solutions and engaging other Americans on the challenges facing our country at AmericaSpeakingOut.com;
Joining the conversation on Facebook.com/OfficeofSpeakerBoehner/; and
Connecting with my office on Twitter.com/SpeakerBoehner/.

I made a Pledge to America to focus on removing government barriers to private-sector job creation and economic growth - that includes cutting spending to help end the uncertainty facing job creators; repealing the job-crushing health care law and replacing it with common sense reforms that lower costs; reining in excessive regulations; and promoting an American Energy Initiative that increases energy production to create jobs and lower energy prices. I also pledged to lead an effort to reform Congress and rebuild the bonds of trust between the American people and their representatives in Washington. I hope you'll stay engaged and keep me updated on your thoughts as we work to keep this pledge.

Thank you again for contacting me and please stay in touch.

Sincerely,
John Boehner
Speaker of the House

And after all the jeers and jaunts... realize this is not good. We are stuck. DC is so damn dysfunctional these guys cannot leave the talking points behind for one second.

1. Did you start your letter to him with:
"Dear Idiot"?

2. I got one too.
I will respond:

Thank you for getting 98% of what you asked for! It is a good day for America! Hopefully, all those jobs you promised will materialize soon since I will be in need of a one given the hit my private investments have taken in the past couple of days.

Enjoy your 5 week vacation. Perhaps when you return to work you can do something really positive for the American People, like resign.

4. Translation:
I don't give a shit what you or the rest of America wants. I've got an agenda here.
