I sent this via email to Senator Frist at 2:30PM today.
Senator, as a former Tennessean now living in Indiana, I have seen your rise to power from afar. I'm a life long Republican and very active in my city and county party. I never thought I would be moved to write a message that includes my OUTRAGE at you and the REPUBLICAN PARTY, but after passage of the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act I can promise you this... I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO SEE THAT YOU OR ANY REPUBLICAN WHO SUPPORTED THIS BILL IS VOTED OUT OF OFFICE. THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD EVER SUPPORT YOUR EFFORTS IF/WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. I can not for the life of me understand why you think this is "important legislation". Do we not have other things to worry about, such as a war in Iraq, North Korea, poverty, unemployment, etc.? Why is it that Congress wants to take away more and more freedoms on a daily basis? You are forcing people away from the party and delivering them to the Democrats. While we are on the subject of cleaning things up, I suggest that you and every other member of Congress take a good long look in the mirror. The news for the Republican Party coming out of Washington is DISGUSTING. Are you TRYING to GIVE away the upcoming elections to the Democrats... let alone the WHITE HOUSE in 2 years? Rep. Mark Foley is a DISGRACE. Rep. Tom DeLay had to resign from office earlier this year due to a scandal as well. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE? Why is it ok for state run lotteries, horse tracks, etc. to operate but you wish to deny me the right to bet $25 on a football game? Your priorities are OUT OF WHACK! You are leading this country down a road I'm afraid we will never recover from.
