Letter to My Congresswoman

This is a letter I sent to my Congresswoman Jackie Speier regarding role of the U.S military and government in relation to the increasingly litany of nightmarish problems developing in the Middle East and Central Asia.  I have mixed feelings on writing letters to our Congressional representatives, as the results of such letters and petitions have always been mixed in my experience.  Nevertheless, it's a good way to gauge the pulse of the person who's being paid to represent you, and if there is any hope for this nation it lies within taking back power at a local level, therefore questioning your Congressperson on matters of importance in effort to hold them accountable for their actions is a good start.
