My note to Senselessbrenner...

I am a constituent and always figured that even though you are far to the right of my beliefs, that you truly respected the rule of law and the constitution in your actions as head of the House Judiciary.

Why in the world did you quash today's hearing? Even if the presenters were not saying things favorable to the current administration - why not wait for and plan for rebuttals???

It is IMPORTANT that U.S citizens hear ALL - that is the hallmark of our representative government. I am shocked and saddened by your action.

3. Only got an autonmated reply...

suspect he has taken me off "his list" -- since I am not a donor.

He is a prig and a jerk - proto-typical Rethug.

2. You are a better person than I

You were very diplomatic where some of us could not be so tactful. I hope you and others up there in Wisconsin work like never before to get this jackass out of there in '06.

his last opponent in 2004 - but he is sitting pretty in a safe seat.

6. Here's mine:

I feel I must express my feelings regarding your actions this morning. In a nutshell, I am appalled at your actions. Walking out and shutting off the microphone because you did not agree with the opinions of those speaking is something for which you must be held accountable. You were elected to represent your constituency, of which I am a member. Sir, this is a democracy, and your conduct was both reprehensible and embarrassing. You should be ashamed of yourself!

7. That's not what I wrote

I wrote:

Your behavior during the hearing on the Patriot Act today was, without doubt, the most un-democratic thing I've ever seen. I dissaprove of you because you want to hide the truth. I am letting everyone I know what I saw today on C-span. The clips of your contemptible behavior are all over the internet.
You will fail, Mr. Sensenbrenner, in your attempts to deny the American people the truth.
The chickens WILL come home to roost.

A taxpayer and voter,
