Dear Senator Obama;

I pay Federal Taxes. Those taxes pay your salary. Your job is United States Senator. I hope I’ve not lost you yet in this important discussion.

The job description for the position of US Senator is to participant in the discussions and decisions on the matters of the people. I am included as one of those. As a reminder, I am a net tax payer into the US Treasury.

Might I be so presumputious as to ask why you haven’t headed to Washington, DC to perform you paid job? Regardless of whether you want to look like you’re a hurt little puppy dog, following the Alpha Dog around isn’t the issue. The issue is you are supposed to be doing your job. In this case, the people of Illinois thought enough of you to send you to that job, and I would ask, as one who pays part of your salary, that you might consider doing what is expected of you right now.

In my world, I cannot get away with telling my boss I’m just going off to a debate and to see if I can get a better job, and expect that he will still have payroll cut me a check each pay period. Frankly, I know how you get away with spending most of the time that I and my fellow net payers to the IRS have employed you dodging the work you were sent to do: You and your fellow politicians make the rules and I’m sure we can’t convince you to do the right thing as far as being loyal to us and actually working for for pay.

Your job calls you at the Capitol Building. You should go there. You should participate in the discussions. If you want to look Presidential, show us how you take working a job seriously, so long as it is the job you are chartered to do, by us, the taxpayers, net payers and not so net ones, for that matter. We need you to man up.

Sincerely,

A Concerned Citizen
