An Open Letter to Congressman Gerry Connolly, 11th District, Virginia
Dear Congressman Connolly:
A few days back, I received in the mail a six-page brochure from you entitled, "A Progress Report from Congressman Gerry Connolly." It was an expensive glossy brochure with color pictures of you on four pages. I thought, if this is how you want to spend your campaign money, that's your business.
Then I noticed in the fine print on the last page the following, "This mailing was prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense." I am furious. I don't understand how you, in good conscience, can spend our money to make yourself look good. Shame on you. You could have published your report on plain white paper with black and white photos (if necessary) and saved the taxpayers thousands of dollars. I plan on holding on to the brochure so that I can show people I talk to that you are being a spendthrift with our money.
Also, please consider losing the mustache. Every time I see you smile, it reminds me of the dastardly villain who is tying the poor helpless damsel to the railroad track. In my own mind, I see the poor helpless damsel as our health care program that you have already tied to the track.
If you intend to send out any more expensive glossy, color photo reports, please remove me from your mailing list.
Sincerely,
Paul J. Rice
11th District Voter
