Venting

It won't do a lick of good unless it serves as a reminder of just who the ultimate employer is, but nonetheless:

I note with dismay your vote today against stripping immunity from telecommunications companies for potential crimes committed at the request of the Bush Administration. Was the lobbying effort on the part of these companies successful in persuading you that their profits were more important than the American system of law?

I think you owe your constituents an explanation for this vote. How can it be that illegal wiretapping of American citizens doesn't automatically trigger a negative response from you, particularly in light of your experience on the Senate's Watergate Committee?

How far you've come since those days.

I'm ashamed of you and of my state's complicity in this affirmation of government criminality.

Sincerely,
