Sent by e-mail to Congresswoman Lois Capps today:

Dear Mrs. Capps, I received your e-newsletter about ending addiction to oil. I can’t speak for my fellow constituents, but I don’t consider this a priority. If people wanted to avail themselves – and their industries – of alternative energy sources, we could and would do so. We’re burning fossil fuels, at our own peril, because we like it. It’s the American way.

Stop the war. That’s what’s killing our economy as it kills so many people. You folks in Congress could have and should have impeached that nattering incompetent, arrogant George Bush when you had the mandate and the opportunity.

Stop the war now. Don’t wait for Barak Obama’s inauguration, because it may not happen. This society is too sick and full of fear for such assumptions of sanity.
