Fair is fair

To the Honorable Congressmen:

I regret writing this letter to our honorable Congressmen but it appears that some of you have gone beyond the honorable process. Most Americans don't like the way Congress has gotten away from the Judaic/Christian principles that the founding fathers based our laws on. It is time to end most of the subsidies that cost the American taxpayers. Keep only the subsidies that are needed to help those unable to work. We are not responsible to support those who are able to work and don't. This would help supply the workers needed to help reduce the number of immigrants needed.

The border should be closed to all immigrants unless they are coming here to work on a temporary basis or want to become American citizens. They need to be required to know enough English language to understand what our country stands for and be willing to adjust to our cultural practices.

Most politically correct issues are rubbish and should be done away with. The majority of Americans want to vote for a Congressman and a president who can wish people a Merry Christmas and call the tree a Christmas tree. If Congress and judges don't enforce our laws I hope that our governors and local law enforcement agencies will step up and enforce the laws already in existence and, if needed, make their own laws to protect the citizens of their state.

Most of the voters will remember when they go to the polls in November 2008 who voted to support the Global warming theory espoused by Al Gore. He should have been given a dunce hat instead of being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. I saw a sign when walking up the mountain to Ruby Falls outside of Helene, GA that stated there were no mountains there 500 million years ago. In putting down a well in Summerville, SC, the driller brought up shark teeth at the 500-foot level.

I wonder if Al would go on National television and explain how his global warming theory could cause these things to happen. It would be nice to have a cleaner environment but at a pace that would not produce an unbearable cost to the taxpayers. The taxpayers will remember those who supported the compromise on the subsidy to encourage farmers to grow more corn to make ethanol that will increase our taxes, cost of gasoline, food and many other items. Many would like for you to "compromise" our tax system and support the FAIR TAX PLAN.

Sincerely,

Howard R. Hartmann
