Yada, yada, yada
A response from Congressman Don Young...

"November 8, 2005


Ms. Blue_in_AK

Dear Ms. Blue:


Thank you for writing me regarding the situation in Iraq. This is a very important issue and I appreciate you taking the time to share your views.

I joined 295 of my fellow House Members from both sides of the aisle to authorize the President to use force against Iraq to protect the U.S. and enforce U.N. resolutions. We were joined by over two-thirds of the U.S. Senate. I made this difficult decision because I believed it was critical to the security of the United States that an aggressive and belligerent Iraq be defanged.

I am confident that the President's rationale for beginning military
action in Iraq was justified. No one knowledgeable on Middle Eastern
affairs seriously believed that Hussein was not trying his hardest to
acquire weapons of mass destruction, and that with them he would have
threatened the United States. The UN diplomatic disagreements were over how long Iraq should be allowed to flaunt UN resolutions, not over whether Iraq is a threat or in defiance of international efforts to disarm it.

Now we must honor our commitment to the Iraqi people to restore order to their country. Abandoning Iraq before the job is done will leave a breeding ground of terror and Islamic militancy. Both the Baathist elements that remain, and the Islamic-militancy that we have uncovered, must be defeated. We have already come a long way; Iraq has been returned to democracy and the constitution is on track. I remain committed to completing what we have begun.

I hope you find this information useful and please do not hesitate to
contact me again if I can be of further assistance.

Sincerely,
DON YOUNG
Congressman for All Alaska
DY/cc-44051


TELL ME AGAIN WHY I BOTHERED TO WRITE THIS GUY.... :mad:

I have an idea about collecting these form letters they send back
to use against them. 26 states have laws that can be used to Recall these people.

I wonder if a case can be built using their own letters to show that they are not representing the people.
