Senator Ayotte’s non-response to my email regarding her vote for cloture on the continuing resolution

  Back on September the 27th I wrote this post about an email I sent to my Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte on her decision to vote for cloture on the continuing resolution.

  Here is what I said to her in that email:

Senator Ayotte,

  Your vote for cloture on the continuing resolution is the latest in an ever growing list of disappointments. While I am growing more disappointed with you by the day I am not surprised in the least. You were the establishment candidate while Ovide Lamontagne was the true conservative candidate and that is why I supported him in the primary instead of you, and every day you seem to prove that I was right in doing so.

  I know what your excuse for the cloture vote will be: You will tell me that while you voted for cloture you still voted to defund Obamacare. But you know what a fallacy that argument is for you knew when you cast your vote for cloture that the funding would be restored, therefor you voted to restore the funding to Obamacare. You want to have it both ways and you think that the people are too stupid to see through this ruse.

  I disagree with Senator Shaheen on virtually every issue but at least she is honest when she tells the people what she believes in and that is more than can be said for you. You are a liar, a phony, and a weakling. I say you are a weakling because you didn’t have the courage to take this issue all the way to a government shutdown if needs be. Do you really feel as if having the government shut down for a day or two would be the end of the world? If so I should add arrogant to the list as well.

  I am looking more forward in 2016 to voting against you than I am in voting for Rand Paul for president for you have decided to put your own personal gain ahead of doing what is best for the American people and that is something that I will never forgive.

  Since I sent that email I have been awaiting a response from my Senator which has never come. This is not surprising to me considering that out of all the many emails I have sent her she has only bothered to respond once, and that of course was nothing but a standard form letter.

  But today when I got home from work and I checked the mailbox I was surprised to find I actually received a mailer from Senator Ayotte. My initial reaction was, could it be possible that my email actually generated a personal letter instead of a form email? However, before I even made it into the house I realized this envelope was much too thick to simply be a letter and I began to realize what it probably was.

  Upon opening the envelope my suspicion was confirmed, this was not a response to my email at all. This was simply a letter telling me how great she was and how the liberals hated her. the mailer is from the ‘Friends of Kelly Ayotte’ but it included a letter from my senator. In this letter she went on to say that she won’t be bullied and she won’t back down, but she sure could use my help in the form of a donation. And it even included a nice little donation form and a return envelope.

  So what is my next move when she has obviously ignored me once again? I have decided to pen a little note which will go something like this: It is obvious to me that Senator Ayotte could not be bothered to read my last email, because if she had she wouldn’t assume to garner any type of donation from such a disgruntled constituent. Because the Senator has ignored by petition of redress I am including it here as well with the hope that this may reach her desk, please do not bother me again with a request for a donation.

  I will then take that note and a copy of my email, along with the mailer and the donation form and send it back to the ‘Friends of Kelly Ayotte.’ Perhaps then she will finally get the message, for the ruling class elite only care about one thing and that is money. Perhaps this will get her attention, but I doubt it. It is still worth a shot for I know not what else I can do…..

  UPDATE: Here is the note I will be sending to the ‘Friends of Kelly Ayotte’ along with my original email:

    At the end of September I sent Senator Ayotte an email regarding her vote on the continuing resolution but it is obvious to me that the Senator could not be bothered to read my last email, because if she had she wouldn’t assume to garner any type of donation from such a disgruntled constituent. I consider this request for a donation to be an insult.

Because the Senator has ignored my petition of redress I am including it here as well with the hope that it may finally reach her desk at some point.

Please do not bother me again with a request for a donation as Kelly Ayotte is unworthy of such a request. I can only hope and pray that she is primaried by a true conservative in 2016, and if she is not I will not be voting for her even if that means her defeat at the hands of Governor Hassan.

  I cast my vote for Ovide Lamontagne in the 2010 primary and Senator Ayotte is proving to me every day that this was the right decision.

 Begrudgingly yours,

Steve Dennis
