Letter to my congressman. Please critique.
Dear Congressman ____:

If I understand the implications of the “Downing Street Memo” and related documents, evidence may indicate that President Bush lied to Congress, which resulted in embroiling our country in an illegal war.

There is precedent to indicate that lying to congress is an impeachable breach of law. Please lend your voice to mine … Not in My Name.

Thank you for your careful consideration of my concerns.

Sincerely,

Your LIBERAL constituent

1. May I ask what you hope to accomplish by signing the letter....
...as "Your LIBERAL constituent"? Isn't that kinda like leading with your chin in a boxing match? Just use your real name.

3. In direct response to having been attacked by the white house.
I want my congressman to know that I have been offended. I, of course will SIGN the thing (with my real name)

change
"evidence may indicate that President Bush lied to Congress"

to
"evidence clearly shows that President Bush lied to Congress"

I'd leave out the word "President", but that's up to you.
