A few minutes on the Web shows that Betty Sutton is the lead architect of the "Cash for Clunkers" program: http://sutton.house.gov/main/ I imagine she's been busy with that for some time now.

Yet another way to redistribute wealth. Why am I financing someone else's automobile? This is going to wind up the same way that the mortgage meltdown did. People who could not afford these car payments to begin with will be having them repossessed in a couple of years.

You like to use the word "respectfully", but your e-mail is anything but.

Specifics, please. Exactly what in my e-mail was disrespectful. In the United States, we do not have a king or queen (even though Obama seems to think that he is one. Our elected representatives are supposed to be answerable to the citizens. Do you have a problem with thet?

It'll be interesting to see what response (if any) you get. Ironically, if you actually do get a personal, thoughtful response that indicates she actually read and considered your mail, it would mean she's a better representative than you think she is.

When I e-mailed her about my problem with her vote in favor of cap and trade, I got a rubber stamped party line response. I did my best to educate her, since her response indicated that she was totally unaware of the real issues and pointed her to several links that document how cap and trade has cost Spain millions of jobs.

She is a terrible representative who will shortly be out of a job.
