ROGER CLEMENS AND CONGRESS

I DIDN'T WRITE THIS. IT WAS SENT TO ME IN AN EMAIL. THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH SHARING.


While driving home yesterday I was taken aback when I heard that baseball
great, Roger Clemens, is being indicted for lying to Congress and could go
to prison for 30 years. This email is by no means a defense of lying or a
defense of steroids but I found it absolutely incredible when I heard the
words "lying to Congress". I actually found myself laughing. Was the
announcer talking about the same Congress that we have in Washington ?

I am having a difficult time wrapping my mind around the picture of Barney
Frank, Chris Dodd, Maxine Waters, Charlie Rangel, and countless others
whose names escape me now who are congressmen and women sitting in judgment
of someone who lied about taking steroids when they lie, deceive, and steal
from us every day.

Are we talking about the same folks who don't report all of their earnings,
don't pay their taxes, or feather their own nests or that of their spouses
with government contracts, sitting in judgment of Roger Clemens?

Please clarify for me, are we talking about the same people who by the sin
of omission allow our borders to be a sieve and wage war against the state
of Arizona for trying to protect her citizens? Surely I am mistaken that
we're not talking about the likes of Nancy Pelosi who wants to investigate
911 families or anyone else who is opposed to the victory mosque on ground
zero but will not investigate who is funding the mosque.

Congress should be indicted by the American people! If we cannot throw
them in jail for 30 years then we need to throw them out of office forever
and push for term limits. Every day I get more incensed at the absolute
disdain our "public servants" have for us - for you and me, the American
people.

I cannot tell you what to do but I just had to do something to get this
subject out and discussed in the clear light of day. I will be praying,
and I will write my congressmen and then wait for their form letters on the
supplies that we have paid for which will undoubtedly ignore any thing I
said in my letter.

I heard a quote on Turning Point Monday morning related to illness and it
was something like "don't deny the diagnosis but defy the verdict." I
think we can all diagnose what is wrong with our country but please don't
sit quietly by and accept the verdict.
