Our Elected Representatives Are Out of Touch

RECEIVED Fri., Dec. 7, 2007

Dear Editor,
    My recent letters to Sens. John Cornyn and Kay Bailey Hutchison were answered two months later, but completely ignored my subject, which is the reported "loss" of more than 10 billion of our taxpayers dollars in Iraq and asking them if they were looking into it and other waste and fraud including no-bid Halliburton contracts. Their response was boilerplate enthusiasm for Bush's war. Can we Texans really support out-of-touch representatives who seemingly have no regard for our hard-earned tax money being joyously wasted by the Pentagon and the Republican administration? These unresponsive "guardians" of our tax dollars don't deserve to be re-elected.
