A response from my congressman, Sam Farr

I wish all of Congress shared my congressman's views! I am disgusted with Nancy Pelosi's taking impeachment "off the table" and would like to see her defeated in the election in her district.

August 12, 2008

Thank you for contacting me regarding your frustration with the many failures of the Bush Administration.

They have wreaked havoc on this country through both their domestic policies and their international policies. Their warrentless domestic spying program, their poorly prioritized budget, the Patriot Act, their defiance of the international community in stubbornly continuing operations at Guantanamo, their condoning of torture of prisoners, their lying to the American public to get the US into Iraq and their continued mismanagement of the war, their elimination of habeas corpus - to name just a few among their many other abuses, have taken this country down a path that it will take years to recover from.

In addition to their domestic policy failures, the Bush Administration has totally alienated the US from the rest of the world. They completely disregard the opinions of other countries and have continually acted unilaterally and have jeopardized our goodwill throughout the world. The next Administration, Republican or Democrat, will need to make it a priority to restore America's standing in the world.

I share your frustration over the many failures of the Bush administration. Let me assure you that I have fought them every step of the way and will continue to work to hold this Administration accountable.

Thank you for contacting me concerning this important issue and please feel free to contact me in the future.

Sincerely,

SAM FARR
