Good Morning Congressman, I have sent two emails to you with no response. The first was sent on 6/28/2007 and the second on 7/03/2007. I have yet to hear back from you regarding my first 3 questions or the question I added to the 2nd email. As I said before I am not in the habit of contacting elected officials so forgive me for not knowing how long I should wait for some sort of reply from you. I am not sure what to make of this protracted delay, but I do know as a registered voter as well as a resident of Brandywine Hundred this lack of respect for my genuine curiosity on your position of recent national matters is very disconcerning.
My questions are still relevant to what is going in this nation and I would still like all of them answered as would several thousand residents in Delaware for that matter. Since my first email a senior aid for the Vice President had his sentence commuted. The white house has denied subpeaona after subpeaona and now we have learned that AG Alberto Gonzales lied to Congress concerning him not knowing of any issues with the warrantless wiretapping.
Congressman Castle, I am getting the distinct impression that you feel you do not have to answer these questions and can sit on the fence without an opinion. Increasingly you must be aware that you have a responsibility to your constituents to let them know where you stand on matters of public interest.
Congressman Castle, I have added some follow up questions to the initial ones I sent you. I hope that you can find the time to answer them. The public is awaiting your answers sir. We deserve to know where you stand.
- Can you tell me how you feel about the President commuting the sentence of Scooter Libby? How you feel about President Bush circumventing the normal procedures to do so? As well as, what kind of a message you think this sends to the citizens of Delaware?
- Can you give me an idea of how you feel the “Surge in Iraq” is working? Several Senators have said it isn’t. Do you disagree with them?
- Can you give me your opinion of Alberto Gonzalez? More specifically how you feel about him being caught lying to Congress regarding the warrantless wiretapping. Do you have confidence in him? If so why? If not why?
- Can you give me your opinion on the White House citing Executive Privilege as a reason why their current and former staffers do not have to testify before Congress regarding the DOJ firings as well as the Warrantless Wiretapping fiasco?
I will be posting this letter as well as your reply on Delawareliberal.net as soon as they are received. Thank you for your time, the donviti
