I was not able to get a hold of the office. What a fucking joke. The Socialist movement is now in full swing.
My email sent to MA Senator John Kerry.
You probably won't even read this, since all of you politicians are as two faced as possible, but it is worth a try. There are a few reasons why this bill should never had made it to Washington, I am sure you greedy liberal fucks made sure it found its way there.
COST: When the PACT Act of 2003 (S.1177) passed the Senate, the Congressional Budget Office
prepared a Cost Estimate for the Bill. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the PACT Act
of 2003 would cost about $140 MILLION over the 2004-2008 period to enforce. $140 Million over
four years - and that estimate is already six years old. How much will the PACT Act of 2009 cost
to enforce? Isn’t there a better way to spend our tax dollars?
THE POSTAL SERVICE: The price of stamps is being raised practically every year. The PACT
Act will take an entire class of legal, non-hazardous goods and make them nonmailable. What this
means is a huge loss of business (potentially hundreds of millions of dollars) for the Postal Service.
Will they continue to raise the price of stamps and other mail services to compensate for their lost
income? The United States Postal Service is already suffering a fiscal crisis due to the downturn
in the economy. If the PACT Act is passed and millions of dollars of revenue are taken away, there
could be serious consequences for consumers, including reducing the number of delivery days
from 6 per week down to 5 or perhaps only 4 days per week.
Is this what our great country is coming to? The government is now regulating the postal service to drive up taxes even further? As I am sure you know, taxes on tobacco products have raised the price of cigarettes to an alarming $8.00 per pack. Now it is the Senates goal to make us suffer even further?
You were elected to SERVE US, not the other way around. Take heed and VOTE NO to the PACT Act
