Letter to Senators Shelby and Sessions
October 30th, 2009
Below is correspondence from AlabamaTeaParty.org to Alabama senators, Shelby and Sessions. I will publish the answer when it is received…
Dear Senator Shelby,
First, thank you for your service to our state. I am writing an identical mail to you and Senator Sessions. I am the owner/editor of AlabamaTeaParty.org and this mail and your reply will be published on the associated blog… http://alabamateatime.blogspot.com/ so I would kindly ask you to reply by email also.
I have two questions. The first concerns the health debate… In the TeaParty world we think that a major health care bill, at this time, should be very low on the “things to do” list. We are NOT interested in a compromise bill. We simply do not want this health care bill…at all. Later, when time and allies permit, conservative style bills permitting selling health insurance across state lines and tort reform would be appreciated. But we DO NOT want any part of this current health care bill/democrat trick.
Q: Would you agree with this statement? If not, what part?
Secondly… Do Republican senators have a “conservative caucus”? If not, would you be in favor of starting one to stand up for conservative ideals, such as those espoused by the TeaParty movement? If there is a conservative caucus, TeaParty folks can see no gain from it as the moderate to weakling leftist members of the party have been ascendant for the last several years, handing the Democrats the White House, and having learned nothing from their mistakes.
If there is a conservative caucus, what do you propose to do to put it back on a meaningful right, real right path? I thank you in advance for your answers. They will be published on the AlabamaTeaParty.org blog. Sincerely, AlabamaTeaParty.org
