Good morning Senator/Congressman Pedo Lover,

My question today: How are you going to get back into Washington D.C. when your vacation ends to fulfill your official congressional duties? Apparently the city is so unsafe a military force is now needed to maintain safety. Will you have to apply for a military escort to get back to the halls of Congress? Maybe you’ll get a ride in a tank! Whooopee, that’ll be fun, and it’ll only cost us (taxpayers) a pittance, right? Some advice: Make sure you are appropriately dressed and wearing your Congressional identification. And when you look at those military personnel “protecting” you, please consider how your policy decisions affect their concerns about inflation, retirement and healthcare benefits. Not many of them receive a $174,000 salary, plus perks, plus 5-10 weeks of vacation paid for by the taxpayers.
