Put Them On The Record

A while back, I wrote to some politicians to see what they thought of the human rights commissions. In one email, I wrote to Bonnie Brown, a longtime Liberal MP bureaucrat. Here is the response I received after waiting a few weeks:

I'm not familair with the specific case you've quoted.

In general though, I support the fundamental operating principles of the Human Rights Commissions which is to investigate and try to settle complaints of discrimination and to develop and conduct information and discrimination prevention programs. However, I agree that they should not overstep their bounds.

Thank you for taking the time to write to me with your concerns about this matter.

Bonnie Brown

That last line of hers is a bureaucrat's way of saying, "Done. Now piss off."

Here was my response:

Well, there goes my vote. "Not familiar with the specific case."

Ever heard of Google?

From now till the election, I will be sure to tell people not to vote for you.

Thank you,
Sean

I am getting a little more ticked with politicians with each day that goes by. It's time to write to all of them and put them on the record. I was watching Ted Nugent on CNN the other night. He's an old time rocker, but he's gotten into politics over the years. In his interview, he said that he enjoys taking his tax return down to his representative's office, sitting down, and saying, "All right. Where's my money going?"

We need to do more of this. Career politicians need to be reminded why they have an expense account in the first place.
