First Letter To Senator Casey

J.J. Jackson | January 19, 2007 

Frequent readers know that I have a habit of sending letters to my elected representatives. Here is the first one to our newwest Senator from Pennsylvania:

Mr. Casey,

I hope that everything has gone well with your arrival in Washington and I while I sure that you have a great many matters for your attention to be focused on, I wanted to make sure that you will take care not to ignore those that are most important.

Your predecessor, Senator Rick Santorum, and I shared several correspondences over the years he was in office. While I respected his position of public trust it was always clear that Mr. Santorum found himself more interested in issues beyond those of good government. I wish not to speak any more ill of Mr. Santorum at this time than to say that I believe he was not well suited to the demands that navigating the vast river of politics demanded. I am hoping that you will be more receptive to such basic principles than he.

As an example of that which I mean with regards to Mr. Santorum, he spent large amounts of time supporting the dispensation of money from the treasury for causes of benevolence and favor. I am certain that you can see how such actions contain no authority under the Constitution which he took an oath to defend and I think that we can both agree that when one departs from the powers granted to our government under the Constitution that one has failed in that most basic and clear of duty.

As a man of intelligence I am certain that you will see fit to begin to undo not only the violations of Mr. Santorum’s oath, but also the violations of the oaths of many others of your fellow Senators by refusing to perpetuate spending on any cause or mater not specifically enumerated to Congress and the federal government. I know that such a course may not be a popular one especially among others in Washington and certainly not among those that generally benefit from such violations. But as we both know, governance and good leadership are certainly not about taking what is often a popular and easy path.

Our government has become a glutton living off the labor of the industrious to garner favor with constituents and those that have become leaches seeking the promise of that which is not theirs. We have seen the dangers of such a path throughout history where government uses its power to regulate life, collect taxes without limit and oppress people beyond the just causes in which government is designed to commit to.

As this new Congress begins it is hoped that you will be a leader in reestablishing the government to within its constitutional limits and promote the liberty of all mankind.

Laus Deo.

    We’re sorry, Senator Casey has decided to run for the Presidency after just a few days in office and will not be available to perform his duties during the next two years…
