Sen. Lugar: Are you a man or a shill?

Dear Senator Lugar,

First of all, this late paragraph from yesterday, I have revised to clarify:

"I certain pray that I am wrong, but after visiting several countries during the last few years and finding that middle class people in Latin America as well as other places enjoy generally lower real prices (Prices are higher to American tourists than at-home prices due to lousy dollar, Mexico being the ONE exception of those countries I've visited), better access to health care, education, broadband internet and other communications, and most importantly, a higher and more satisfying quality of life (Mexico was found in a recent accredited study to have the most happy citizens of any country -- despite also having many problems)."

Also, are you Republicans really going to all go on record as opposing the Obama financial reforms? Really? You offered nothing real as an alternative that I know of.

If you ask me, some Supreme Court impeachments might be in order after corporations were ruled to have the same status under law as people. Henry Flagler (who I am certain would be shocked by this ruling), in his role running Standard Oil INVENTED the first multi-state corporation, and then opened the State of Florida with his railroad. Then, in a gesture anyone in higher education in the United States of America can truly appreciate, he gave his money to my distant relatives and there is hardly a college or university in the country that has not received millions of dollars from various Kenan educational foundations (Denison included).

UNC Chapel Hill, the first publicly supported college in this country was founded with the help of the (earlier generation) Kenan family and sits on land donated by Kenans. And now, Tommy Kenan with his own foundation, is greatly supporting the arts, and God bless him, helping to preserve native cultures and languages around the world. I found his foundation at work when I recently visited Brazil.

Well, I didn't write you to toot the family horn, but you are the ranking Republican in the Senate and we need some leadership from you. Or are you just controlled by the Bush/Cheney/Limbaugh people too? Tomorrow's vote will be interesting, and soon after it, I dare say the Democrats will be coming after the Republicans like the Lion of Judah with info not yet revealed by me or others.

The Republicans will have been TOTALLY caught in their webs of lies and deceit.

One little example: Anyone my age (59) or older remembers how after JFK was assassinated, Jeanne Dixon was celebrated as an important psychic because it was shown she had predicted it. Later, she accurately predicted Bobby Kennedy's assassination too. What came out later under the Freedom of Information Act was that Dixon was never a psychic. Government documents revealed that she actually worked with J. Edgar Hoover as a sort of spokesperson, and released certain of his planned actions in advance. Check the published record. It was suppressed by the part of the Republican Party that we ex-pat's call THE SYSTEM, but this is a fact.

Where do you stand, Sir? Are you a man or a shill of THE SYSTEM???

Inquiring Denisonian wishes to know.

FYI: My listed address and phone number are no longer valid, but your form requires them. I have not received an email other than a marketing one in many days. THE SYSTEM does not allow me two-way communications at this time.

Could you speak to the admin of THE REPUBLICAN PARTY SYSTEM and free my email, please?

Muchos gracias!
