Here's what I sent to my Michigan 7th District Representative via his web site:
Dear Representative Walberg: I am hopeful that the message you are taking away from the results of Tuesday's election is that the majority of Americans want Congress to work with the President to avoid the "fiscal cliff". So, please, tear up your Grover Norquist "no taxes ever" pledge and see that the richest among us are finally asked to pay their fair share of taxes. Favoring millionaires at the expense of education, R&D, rebuilding infrastructure, and public safety makes NO sense. Please read and believe the report of the Congressional Research Service which shows that continuing tax breaks for the rich is NOT a path to creating jobs in the US.Please add your voice to the call for fact-based compromise. Call, email or write - today - before spin takes it toll and delusion sets in again in the Republican House.
