Open Thank-You Letter

Yes­ter­day was a great day for the con­ser­v­a­tive beliefs.  The U.S. House of Rep­re­sen­ta­tives Repub­li­cans and 11 Democ­rats took a stand for what they believe in and what their con­stituents believe in.  Smaller gov­ern­ment, less waste­ful spend­ing.  The $850 bil­lion - BILLION — mea­sure may have passed, but at least the lib­er­als and the Amer­i­can peo­ple know where the con­ser­v­a­tives stand.

I would like to take the time right now to per­son­ally thank my rep­re­sen­ta­tive, Demo­c­rat Gene Tay­lor, for tak­ing a stand for what South Mis­sis­sippi believes in.  I truly respect you, and you have done so much for your con­stituents, even when it wasn’t pop­u­lar or what the rest of your party voted for.  Thank you for not tow­ing the party line, and cav­ing to polit­i­cal peer pres­sure.  I haven’t always agreed with you, but I respect you and I thank you.  Our gov­ern­ment needs more rep­re­sen­ta­tives like you.
