Member of Congress (insert your representative),
In light of the late availability of the full text of the final version of S.1, The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the Congress puts itself in the awkward position of being unable to represent any of the constituents they serve. With more than 800 pages of text and thousands of items containing extremely controversial expenditures, quick passage of this bill will do a disservice to all Wisconsin citizens, regardless of their political ideology.
As this bill comes to the floor of the United States Senate, your first and most fervent argument should be that the American public deserves time to read and comprehend what is being proposed. If a vote is forced prior to Monday, February 16th, your vote should be in opposition to forcing this into law without giving your boss, the voting public, time to review the bill in its entirety.
Having read nearly the entire original text, a great many aspects of this bill disturb me, personally. Many more are downright frightening. The American public needs to time gain understanding of the full bill prior to it being voted upon and signed into law.
Very Respectfully,
Iron Pol (use real name and address for actual communication)
