LETTER TO LIBRARY OF CONGRESS!
With Congress today doing such a bad job, I got really hot about them wasting all that money on the Library of Congress (which they clearly DONT use), so I wrote the following email to them. I spent alot of time making sure the grammer and spelling was right -- unlike this blog, hahaha!!!!!! I can write smart when I need to. Here it is:
Dear Librarians:
Please explain to me the following. Why does Congress need a special library? Can’t they just use a regular library, or the Internet, like everyone else?
Is it true the Library of Congress costs millions of dollars a year? It’s a waste. I bet you $10 that most of the Senators and Congressman (not including their aides) have not checked out a single book in the last year! If more than half of them did, I'll send you $10, but please give me a list of the Senators & Congressman who took out a book. The Freedom of Information Act entitles me to that. I know my rights.
Anyway, even if some of them are using it, they probably could just go to a regular library, which would be much cheaper. How many books have Congressmen taken out in the last year that weren’t also available at the local library? None, I bet! If you tell me differently, again, I’d like to see a list.
I’m sick and tired of paying for all these bells and whistles just so the fat-cats in Washington can whoop it up in a fancy library. If I had known my Senator was going to spend his time in the library instead of representing me I never would have voted for him in 2003.
People are starving every day. Soldiers are dying in Iraq. Seniors aren’t getting healthcare. Soon we might not be able to afford air. All this because some Congressmen want more books than they could ever read in 1000 lifetimes?
Then you wonder why people never learn to read.
A concerned citizen awaits your response,
