First, Rep Keith Rothfus's bullshit message -
The situation unfolding in Iraq is a tragedy.
Almost 4,500 fellow Americans made the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq defending our freedom and fighting oppression and tyranny. More than 32,000 men and women who served our country in Iraq bear the wounds of war. And all who served had extraordinary pressures put on their families.
Unless you have lived it, one cannot begin to know the pain experienced by the families of the fallen and wounded.
Our men and women in uniform fought for an ideal. That ideal is freedom. The freedom of religion. The freedom of speech. The freedom to assemble and vote and make ones voice heard.
That ideal will never die.

(this is where I'd had it so my response .)
Dear Mr. Rothfus,
We never should have invaded Iraq 11 years ago. Had you done your homework, you would have this knowledge. The situation you call "unfolding" is the handywork of the neocons like Dick Cheney, George Bush and his father, George HW Bush, Condi Rice, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, and the entire embedded media who went to sleep as they reported what they were told.
We killed countless Iraqis after the invasion of "shock and awe" for what? We weren't even in the right country, since the majority of the highjackers were from Saudi Arabia and/or funded by them. We, with our vast military intelligence couldn't or wouldn't even find OBL until this administration's "discovery" and quick elimination without evidence to the American people. We, with our vast military budget couldn't get in and out of a conflict we brought on WITHOUT finding evidence of "weapons of mass destruction".
Where the hell were YOU? Haven't you gotten this information yet? Why the "tragedy unfolding" newsletter? What's your point, Representative Rothfus?"
You know, you really don't represent us. You instead carry on the non-representation we had with Tim Murphy and his photo ops for over 10 years.
Wake up and find the real information. Stop supporting the "war criminals are us" mentality of Bush/Cheney as outlined over 15 years ago in the Project for the New American Century (PNAC).
Have a nice day.
Thank you,
(us)
P.S. It's nice to know the nearest local office WE have is in Johnstown, over 30 miles from here.

He is another Rep. Gerry Mander, like Murphy.

It's a shame these reps probably don't even read their feedback.
