My Letter to My Representatives

Dear X (Culberson, Hutchison, Cornyn),

I’ve heard reports that Congress is contemplating putting together another stimulus package, potentially costing more than $100 billion. Many economists dispute the effectiveness of these packages, especially if citizens save the money or spend it on imports. With $11 trillion in national debt and more than $500 billion deficit, I can’t rationalize spending even more money that we don’t have.

So please, Congressman, vote “no” on any stimulus package that comes to the floor of the House. Instead, work with Congress in developing legislation that either invests money into our nation’s infrastructure or begins to pay off the $11 trillion national debt. Protecting the American economy and paying off that debt should be Congress’ number one priority right now.

I want you to also take a closer look at our free trade agreements with foreign countries. Nearly everyone agrees that these agreements have bled the United States of manufacturing jobs. It seems the playing field isn’t level, which in turn has turned the United States into a country that makes nothing and imports everything.

Your citizen,


Frank Thomson
