Anyway, it's been almost four days--granted, two were on weekend, but I'm curious as to whether or not I'll get a form letter to this:
Dear Congresswoman Shea-Porter,
It has come to my attention that you and other House Democrats are considering a censure motion against Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) for his remarks against the President Wednesday night. While I agree his comments were in poor taste and below the level one would expect of the decorum of Congress, you might want to remove the log from your eye before pointing out the splinter in the eye of another.
Given your past history, I find it the height of hypocrisy for you, of all people, to demand an apology for heckling an elected official or disrupting a meeting or speech. Have you so quickly forgotten why you were removed from a Bush rally in Portsmouth on February 16, 2006? Or the numerous times you hounded Jeb Bradley, your predecessor? At least he wasn’t afraid to face his constituents AND his critics. And when someone asks you a question to which you haven’t given “permission†for them to ask, as in the case of Carl Tomanelli recently, you have them thrown out with the snarky comment, “I do hope the movie theater can be a little quieter for you.†Really? What happened to representing ALL your constituents? Your incredible arrogance is appalling.
Over the past three years, it has become increasingly apparent that you, Congresswoman, are a hypocrite—perfectly willing to dish it out, but completely unable to take it when it starts (rightly) coming back your way. Consider this before you point any fingers at Congressman Wilson.
For the record, keep your hands off my healthcare, if you please. No public option is the only option. The bill you are pushing is too vague, too expensive, and too intrusive.
So, in closing, if anyone is going to issue an apology, might I suggest you issue one first?
Sincerely,
XXXXX XXXXXXXX
Rochester, NH

I got the standard automated reply saying they got my letter. Now, let's see how they handle it.
