“Individual copies of the following letter were delivered to the offices of Senators Warner and Webb on October 30, 2009:

Re.: Senate bills on health care reform and climate control
While this letter is uniquely mine, I’m sure that it shares the thoughts of thousands of Virginians who cannot, or choose not to, partake in the kind of privilege I am enjoying today.
I’d like to at least begin on a positive note by thanking you for your vote to defeat the recent attempt to relocate a large sum of money from a proposed health reform bill to this nation’s deficit in order to reduce the apparent real cost of the bill. I appreciate your support.
Now, however, we come to the collection of health reform bills, some in the House and some in the Senate, as well as the House-passed Cap and Trade (aka “cap and tax”) bill where your votes will be made. I hope that you can help to bring decorum back to the Senate from the current situation that appears to me like a disparate group flapping about in quicksand in a futile effort to come up with “something” that will pass.”
