Dear Joreth,

Thank you for sharing your opinion regarding the sanctity of life and specifically your thoughts about H.R. 3.

The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, H.R. 3, was introduced by Representative Chris Smith (R-NJ-7), on January 20, 2011. The purpose of this bill is to ensure that American tax revenues are not used to provide abortion services. This legislation has been referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and the Committee on Ways and Means for further consideration.

The right to life is one of three unalienable rights, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, which are promised to all individuals in the Declaration of Independence. I believe these rights extend to unborn children as well, and that the right to life is our first given right. I firmly believe and stated last fall, that I would oppose any use of tax dollars to promote or perform abortions or to support organizations that promote or perform abortions. While we may disagree on this very personal issue, I am sure that there are many other issues on which we will agree.

Again, I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with me. I am honored to serve the people of Florida's 8th Congressional District as your representative in the United States Congress.

Your Servant,

Daniel Webster
Member of Congress



Then not only have you lost my vote, I will be actively campaigning against you in all future voting issues to ensure others do not vote for you or your positions.

You most certainly do not "serve" me or any other woman.

Unfortunately Florida is overloaded with these asshats, at the state & federal level.
Somehow, with all the other issues Florida is facing, the state managed to elect a governor whose 3 main priorities are dismantling public education, eliminating health care unless you have the $ to buy it from his company, and outlawing abortion... and a lot of the "representatives" in office agree heartily that those're the 3 most pressing issues out there.

I got a similar response from Marco Rubio, see below. Although mine claimed the economy as the main reason. As you so often say, FUCK OFF...

If you find any way aside from word of mouth to actively campaign against these asshats, please let me know.

Dear Mrs. D,

Thank you for taking the time to write to me about federal funding for Planned Parenthood. I understand this is an important issue and I appreciate hearing your thoughts.

Floridians are concerned about the severity of our country's unsustainable $14 trillion debt, and as your elected representative, I have made a commitment to reduce government spending. With a projected deficit of $1.65 trillion for this year alone, every piece of the federal budget needs to be a part of the conversation of how to cut spending and lower the national deficit. We must withdraw our spending commitments to Planned Parenthood, as well as other organizations, in order to develop a long-term budget solution that will seriously address the economic problems facing Florida and our nation.

Again, thank you for contacting me about this matter. I look forward to any views or input you wish to share in the future.
