I just sent this of. I have never taken the time to write him before because it would have been a complete waste of time
I have never had occasion to contact you regarding any issue or proposed legislation because, frankly, your views are so different from mine on almost every issue that I felt it would not be an efficient use of my time. However, recently an issue has presented itself on which I am sure we can agree.
As a patriotic American and father in law to a soldier in the United States Army, I was disgusted at the comment made by right wing radio personality Rush Limbaugh calling many of our troops “phony soldiers.” After all, these troops were just excercising a right that they have agreed to die for, if necessary.
In light of your recent resolution regarding General Petraeus, I am sure that you agree with me that Limbaugh’s statement cannot stand. After all, this was an insult to the men and women who actually do the fighting and dying in Iraq. I know that I can count on you as my senator to do the right thing (pardon the pun) and offer a resolution to censure Mr. Limbaugh and to have his insulting program removed from Armed Services Radio.
Please let me know when you will be offering this resolution and what action you will take to have Limbaugh’s program removed from Armed Services Radio. In the alternative, please inform me why you will not take these necessary steps to preserve the dignity and honor of our military.
