CAN YOU HEAR US?????

Dear Scott Walker,I OPPOSE senate bill 22 and so much more. I have a quotation from Facebook for you tonight. I am not going to comment on it; I simply want you to ponder it. Well, you and everyone else I am including in this email. After you ponder it, if you are like me (one filled with virtues and conscience), you will be compelled to send the quotation to someone else so he or she can ponder it. And so it begins..."Remember when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR, and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401Ks, took trillions in taxpayer funded bailouts, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and paid no taxes? Yeah, me neither!" I OPPOSE senate bill 22 and so much more.
Sincerely,

Carrie 
 
Dear Scott Walker,I OPPOSE senate bill 22 and so much more. I just read the good news about the official "state dessert" making it's way through legislation. I heard a snip-it on the radio this morning that it was a possibility. I am including the link to the article and a quotation: http://www.620wtmj.com/news/local/123470919.html "Fourth-graders from Mukwonago have been pushing lawmakers to anoint the cream puff as Wisconsin's favorite treat. They convinced Republican Sen. Mary Lazich to introduce a bill." This information is good to know; I wonder what else students could push for...what else would republicans be willing to introduce for the benefit of students? What else could students possibly want from republicans? How else could students and republicans work together to improve the state of Wisconsin? I feel like the state dessert is just the beginning. Imagine all of the accomplishments that could happen if students and republicans teamed up. Where would it end? We might have a state restaurant, candy, and cartoon before you know it! On second thought, the students now probably have much more relevant legislation they would like passed, such as reduction in class-size, sufficient school funding, accessibility to technology, and reinstatement of school specialists. It looks like the republicans might have to rely on themselves for ideas about bills that are really important to Wisconsinites. The students will just worry about the bills that affect them on a daily basis. I OPPOSE senate bill 22 and so much more.

Dear Scott Walker,
I OPPOSE senate bill 22 and so much more. Perhaps the heat is getting to me a little, my husband says I get crabby when it gets hot. Seeing your generic email when I checked my email today really made me quite bitter. To blow off some steam, I am going to create my own generic email based on your generic email. We'll see if it helps. 
Thank you for your generic e-mail message reply.  I welcome you expressing your views and concerns to me, and I commend you for participating in sending a generic email message reply. (This is sarcastic because you have not expressed your views and concerns to me and because at this point I am only willing to commend you for handing in a resignation letter.) I take into account the views of all of the citizens and politicians of Wisconsin, and I will keep your specifically generic comments in mind during my service as your constituent.
If you would like more information about my or other constituents’ positions on issues, or would like to read my or other constituents’ public statements on issues, I encourage you to explore the WI Workers Against Walker website http://wiscworkers.blogspot.com/.  I like to respond individually to every letter and telephone call I receive; however, I cannot respond to any of your communications due to the lack of volume and substance.  If your request is time sensitive, please call my home at XXX. You may also write to me via conventional mail at Carrie XXXXX
As noted in emails previously sent to you, please know that any communications will be subject to release under my own personal "public records good conscience" and that my policy is generally to release communications sent to this email address.
Once again, thank you for contacting me with generic email message replies. (Once again, this is sarcastic. Who would really want to receive a form reply when they are pouring their heart and soul out to you each and every night?) Please feel free to contact me again if I can ever be of assistance to you and especially if you are going to craft an original piece of writing instead of the generic email message replies.
Sincerely,
Carrie
