Just me venting … like anyone from congress would read this. They don’t even read their own e-mails.
PLEASE CONGRESS, get our people out of that region and focus more on our own nation! Keep our military strong, but keep them here! We are an extremely powerful nation, but we don’t need to keep flexing our muscles throughout the world. Our “interests” lie here, on our own soil: Our citizens are our “interests”. _____________________ You are worried about oil? Quit forcing us to use it! As for the amount of oil that we use/need, take it from our own soil. You know that we are sitting on enough oil to last us another 500 years at the current rate of consumption. The philosophy of draining OPEC’s supply so that we are the major supplier of the world is irresponsible … ecologically, financially, and morally. _____________________ Sad as it may seem, I am getting to the point that I could care less what is happening in other nations. If they proclaim to be our friend or ally, great! If not, tough! “Don’t Tread On Me” should be our motto again. Tell you what, why not start flying the 1st Navy Jack on our ships again as a reminder to those who question our courage or fierce desire for Independence. _____________________ There is no reason that any of our soldiers need to shed another drop of blood on foreign soil for reasons of “financial stability” or “significant cultural differences”. If their people truly get tired of oppression, they will do something about it. We did! Remember?!
